Christmas Charity Fundraiser 2014: YOUR suggestions!

[Chris]

Hello!

It's time once again for you to start making your suggestions for who we should support this year for our annual charity VIP sale.

All you need to do is post your suggestions here so that they can be compiled into our first poll that will be going up next month.

The only requirements are that the charity is registered and that the charity is not Shelter, as we donated to them last year.

Who do you feel deserves our attention this year?

[Rachel]

Donate for poor families or children. Like most doesn't get a lot of food to eat during Christmas or even gifts to open as they can't afford it. I'm not sure what this cause would be called but it is a good cause.

[David]

donate to v7

Was literally going to say this. Raise money to buy a coder.

[buttons]

as much as i find it important to raise money for mental health, im going to suggest Ataxia Uk.

http://www.ataxia.org.uk/

ataxia is a neurological disorder that affects walking, balance, speech, vision, swallowing, physical tasks and can cause heart problems.

there currently isn't a cure for most types of ataxia, including friedreichs ataxia which is a inherited progressive type of ataxia, basically it worsens until the individual is finally confined to a wheelchair and can't walk/stand at all. their cognition isn't affected and so they're basically trapped in their body unable to walk and often unable to talk. people with this type of ataxia die early because it's so poorly known about and treatments haven't been developed fully because more research needs to be done. the ataxia foundation doesn't receive money from the government to help them out so they really do rely on people donating to them. so far researchers have been able to find out how the gene affects neurology which has been a big step for friedreich's but there's still a long way to go in developing research and treatments.


you can find out more about it here http://www.ataxia.org.uk/data/files/info_publication/ataxia_types/fa_leafet_07.pdf

[Expling]

I'd personally suggest the older generation, those who have been around for years and live alone. I think it'd be nice for them to have a nice christmas, as for some of us... we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. (An example: http://www.ageuk.org.uk/) AgeUK help and support older people, from physical to emotional support - I think it's time to give something back to them ;).

unless it's for a sloth
people seem to like those above others

[Rachel]

Also what would be good for donations is Donate for Education. Many countries can't afford to have education. I don't know any sites who does that but it is just an idea.

[Chris]

Thanks for your concern but we have people working on V7. This thread is for serious posts only so unless you have a suggestion then don't bother posting silly things like this.

Whilst I don't have a direct charity to name - any one that deals with suicide.

Although I'm never excessively fussed which charity gets picked each year, I'll probably donate either way :P

[lucaskf390]

Doctors Without Borders (Médecins sans Frontières), they fighiting against ebola in Africa.

ooh fighting against ebola charity would be good, very topical atm.

[!:random!:!]

ALS, cancer research uk or id also like to donate to families less fortunate :)

[lawrawrrr]

Scouts UK
www.scouts.org.uk (http://www.scouts.org.uk)
I was going to say the same thing! I suggest this every year. Scouts definitely gets my vote!

[FlyingJesus]

Since when was Scouts a charity what I didn't know that and I used to be one

Anyway idk a homelessness charity would be most likely to get my vote, they're often the most desperate for funding since they tend not to have the huge advertising and PR that others shell out on. As long as it's not an animal charity or one with a bad ethical history I'm not too bothered though

[IzzyUhh]

Alzheimers society, or scouts
http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/

[Calum0812]

Always I think :P
It's not a charity I suppose in the same way Cancer Research is or Shelter but nevertheless, it is still a charity that enriches the lives of thousands and relies on donations :P

CATS SHELTER

Epilepsy Action. My dad has epilepsy and has just run a half marathon for it and didnt raise as much as he'd have liked, its not always the first charity people think of but lots of people die from epilepsy each year. I see how it affects my dad when it comes to jobs and meeting new people so it is an important charity.

Also, just for reference here are the previous charities which Habbox has donated to:

Livestrong
Help for Heroes

MacMillan
Oxfam
Make A Wish
MIND
Depression Alliance
Shelter

Well if you read this news article from yesterday, you'll see why I suggest these guys. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-29782487

[Phil]

I think a children or education based one would be nice but none come to mind because y'know, UK..

[GoldenMerc]

Let's donate to a local charity that we know the £1000 won't go to staff wages for once, or advertisement to get people like us to donate to. I work closely with http://www.lacesport.org.uk/Index/index.php so im saying them

[lawrawrrr]

I think a global charity would be better. We're a global fansite after all :)

Child's Play Charity.

Essentially a charity that raises money to buy toys/games/activities for children to do in hospital to make their stays in hospital more comfortable and more relaxing.

You can donate to the charity as a whole, or you can donate to a specific hospital via an Amazon Wishlist, for example, here's a link to the items currently wanted by Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.

I personally feel like this is a good idea as we can actually see what our money has bought rather than donating to a large charity and not seeing any visual difference.

[Phil]

Omg Aiden I am so with you on that one!! Whenever I do charity events for kids I take the money myself and go down to toy shops and gets toys for kids rather then doing it through a charity. That way I know exactly where it's going

[scottish]

It's mainly a US based charity though, it does like 3 hospitals within the whole of the UK (all of which are in England).

Afaik HxF is still mainly UK based audience.

[Aiden]

In our school council meeting choosing charities is really pressured, it's either a cancer-related or war-related one. I would like to donate to a small, local charity that will appreciate the donation the most. I don't personally follow any LOCAL charities but I would vote for one that anyone else can suggest near them? :)

Somewhat subjective.

Local to some is China, others is Scotland etc

[Chippiewill]

I vote that we go for a local charity that no one is local to. The moon.

[Aiden]

Well I don't mind where it is but as long as it's near someone on the forum with a charity they support near them... But thanks for telling me some people's local charities are not near me :P

I think rather than meaning local to everyone, he was asking for people to put forward charities that have personally affected them in some way.

I think that is a lovely idea. I'd like to think that by buying VIP I am helping a charity that has helped a person/people on this forum. It's nice to see the effects your donation has had.

Personally I'd put forwards Parkinson's UK (http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/) as this charity helped a massive amount with a very close family member who was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Unfortunately he was misdiagnosed (it was not Parkinson's but a disease that looks rather like Parkinson's, but is much more aggressive and affects more areas than your motor skills) but they still keep in touch and invite him along to all of their events in our local garden center. They may not be able to help him with his disease anymore but morally they've been very supportive.

I understand Parkinson's doesn't directly affect many people on a forum based for young people but if we went with Skandair's idea of 'local' charities that have helped HabboxForum members here today then.. idk maybe.

[AgnesIO]

Well I don't mind where it is but as long as it's near someone on the forum with a charity they support near them... But thanks for telling me some people's local charities are not near me :P

The charity I nominated is very close to me for 1/4 of a year, does that count? :P

[Paige.]

Crohn's and Colitis UK

I would really, really appreciate it if you all took the time to hear me out because I have put forward this charity before but it was pretty much put at the bottom of the pile. This charity is extremely close to my heart as my mum suffers from Crohn's disease, she was diagnosed at the age of 16 but has had it all of her life. My great nanny also suffered from Crohn's disease, and I myself have been tested before as I have shown some symptoms (they haven't yet figured out what's going on with me).
Many people have asked me what is Crohn's disease? Every time I struggle to explain because it really is difficult to put it into words and nothing I say can truly portray how horrible the disease is. It upsets me when I see actually how many people aren't even aware of the disease and have no idea what it is.

My mum has gone through 4 major surgeries and about 8 minor ones. I'm actually welling up thinking about this because I have had to watch her go through most of these (I was kept away when I was younger and I understand why now) and I ... sorry I'm actually crying now (sounds pathetic but I can't even, I just don't know how to type this without getting upset because it will always be in my mind) I remember the most recent one (this was in december, very near christmas and we thought we wouldn't have mum for christmas) I was so excited to see her because I hadn't seen her for a about a week after she was taken into hospital and me and nan went up to see her a couple days after surgery. Her intestines had blown up to 9cm and were at risk of popping, which would have called septicemia and possibly death. I was smiling and exciting to finally see her and see that she was okay and as soon as I turned the corner into the ward and saw her in the chair next to her bed... I (I'm crying again now wow this is hard, I know you probably don't understand) just burst into tears because of what I was seeing... I had never seen her in that state before, because I had always been kept away from seeing her in that state but I felt that I was ready. She had tubes coming out from everywhere, and I mean everywhere, she was so pale and her eyes were closed I honestly thought... ugh I can't stop crying now this is hard to type. She had a cannula in both feet, hands and other places. I don't want to say anymore as this is quite horrible for me to vividly remember but all I can say is you really would not want to see your own mum in that state, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

As a result of surgeries, she has lost half of both her small and large bowels and because of that she has to have regular vitamin injections as she can't absorb food like an average person can. She has also lost about 2 ft of her intestines. She has almost died 3 times...
She suffers from chronic fatigue, pain daily, constant diarrhea (which effects her daily life as she can't go out for meals or anything and if she does go out she can't eat anything as it upsets her stomach). Some of the medication she has been on causes terrible side effects like weight gain, hair loss, depression, reduced immune system. Crohn's can also effect other parts of your body like your skin, eyes (she nearly lost the sight in her left eye when she was about 18 because of iritis), bones (her joints ache all the time because of medication), teeth (her teeth crumble because of the years of steroids she's been on for example).

I can't really put into words what it's like to live with my mum having Crohn's disease and how much it effects her. What I've said already really doesn't do any justice because I could say so much more and go into so much more depth but it is just too upsetting for me.

I've found '6 simple ways to explain Crohn's Disease to others' and this should hopefully help you a bit to understand, so if you could take the time to read it or some parts I would greatly appreciate it: http://www.everydayhealth.com/crohns-disease/simple-ways-to-explain-crohns-disease-to-others.aspx

There are many videos and it was a struggle to choose which one I found to be the most informative and eye-opening, but this one is really good or there are many others on YouTube and the actual charity YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBsfWOtERbO6sfVuhMrxrTg

It's mainly a US based charity though, it does like 3 hospitals within the whole of the UK (all of which are in England).

Afaik HxF is still mainly UK based audience.

Then we donate to a specific UK hospital.

As I said it depends if we donate the money to the charity, or spend the money raised on Amazon so the toys/gifts go straight to the UK hospitals.

That's a good one, my local children's hospital kept getting toys stolen by parents that brought their children, it went from a big room filled with toys to barely any at all 👎

^Didn't we donate to MIND a few years ago? If so I'd rather go with somewhere else this year.

Yorkhill Children's Charity

Many sick children spend days, months and years attending Yorkhill Hospital, some with minor ailments and some fighting for their lives. Yorkhill Children’s Charity sits firmly at the heart of the hospital and works tirelessly doing all that we can to make these difficult times easier for the children and their families, helping to give them the best chance of making a full recovery.
None of this would be possible were it not for the donors, fundraisers and volunteers who have enabled the charity to help support the hospital and related services over the past year. We are eternally grateful for your support and commitment in supporting Scotland’s sick children… children that so rightly deserve the best care possible.

MediCinema

MediCinema improves the difficult reality of being in hospital or places of care for patients and their families by bringing them genuine movie-going experiences to make them feel better.By creating a true cinema experience MediCinema aims to enrich the lives of patients, many of whom are critically ill or disabled and spend extensive periods of time in hospital or undergoing treatment.
We do this by installing and managing permanent state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and places of care which show the latest releases the film industry has to offer.
Our cinemas are built to comfortably accommodate hospital beds and wheelchairs whilst maintaining a real and immersive cinema experience.
The therapeutic effects provided by the opportunity to enjoy an immersive and uplifting social experience with family and friends in a medical environment have proved remarkable. By bringing them a genuine cinema experience we make them feel better, provide relief from the wards and some precious normality.

Kidney Kids Scotland was founded as a Charitable Trust in July 2000 to help children with renal illness and their families.
Families continue to be a priority for the Charity ensuring they are supported when they most need it. These families come from ALL over Scotland.
Kidney Kids Scotland supports hospitals all over Scotland supplying them with much needed equipment and funding for posts recognised as being essential. We achieve this by working closely and relying on the expertise of Consultants, Medical and Welfare personnel to identify where the Charity can best provide help.

i don't want ANY charity you would see advertised on tv being chosen

[ItsMeerken]

i've never seen a tv advertisement for crohn's and colitis uk
the only time i've seen anything about crohn's on tv was when sam faiers from the only way is essex got diagnosed with it and i saw her on a morning show? but this wasn't a tv ad obviously

[CrazyLemurs]

has anybody suggested we donate to something ebola-related? I expect we'll still be in its grip this time next month and it's a quantifiable, fatal virus. or maybe that's too mainstream :P
as long as we don't support the armed forces, I don't mind myself

[FlyingJesus]

We need funding for tamiflu

[Tyler]

DogsTrust should have something for once.
After all the years of hate.
