We’re very excited to announce the start of this year’s

“I LOVE TROUBLE” fundraiser.

If you want to find out more about Jenny, you can do so under “HOME” or “MORE ABOUT JENNY”. These annual fundraisers have played a very important role in keeping her going in the last four years. Our 2017 fundraiser brought in R47 346. And now, we’re looking to top that. 

Goal: By 30 November 2018 we want to raise R 89 400 (5 450 €)

The plan is to do so by generating

• R 22 200 (1 360 €) in one-off donations
• R 5600 (345 €) in regular monthly contributions (limited to a year)

This year’s goal is quite an increase from last year, partly due to inflation, but also because Jenny is hoping to get into a home closer to her family and friends who live on the other side of Cape Town. We want to make this possible!

And there’s even a litte prize draw as an incentive for our German supporters: you can read more about it further down in the post.

 

In South Africa we’re looking for:

• 5 people who can commit R50  per month
• 8 more people who can commit R100 per month
• 4 more people who can commit R150 per month

(The good news is that, already at the start, we already have 1 commitment for R150 and 2 for R100! Thank you very much to the superfast sponsors!!)

Internationally (from all the countries with TROUBLE fans, including Britain, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand) we’re looking for:

• 5 people who can commit 5 Euro per month
• 10 people who can commit 10 Euro per month
• 5 people who can commit 15 Euro per month

The regular monthly- contributions have proven vital in coverting costs. Sponsors (maybe you?) commit to transferring a small regular amount (let’s say R50 or 5 €) every month for one year, from December 2018 until November 2019. When enough people get involved, these regular amounts really add up. Of course, we’ll be very happy if sponsors extend their support beyond Nov. 2019, but we will check in with everyone after a year to see if that is possible.

But, please remember, one-off donations are also very, very welcome! Even small amounts really, really help!

If you can make a contribution, please write to fundraisingfortrouble(at)gmail.com and we will send you Jenny’s banking details.

PRIZE DRAW:
Now we get to the good stuff, where we can give our generous sponsors something back! There will be a prize draw in Berlin for our German supporters (unfortunately, we can’t open it up to everyone, as int. postage fees are too high).

Here are some of the prizes:

• three “I love TROUBLE” ball-point pens
• five packets of home-baked cookies (they’ll be warm out of the oven, that’s why there’s no photo of them yet!!)
• and one super cool magnetic frame set (that turns any photo into a polaroid on the fridge.)

For every 10 € you donate or pledge, your name goes into the hat for the lucky draw on 30.11.2018. The names of people who pledge more than 10 € go into the hat more than once – so the name of someone who pledges 5 € a month for a year, goes into the hat 6 times.

Make sure to send us a mail, of you want to be included!

And, please remember to spread the word. Just 4 weeks to go!!

Thank you!!
