And for the past one week
I was heartened by the sincerity of the people around me
and touched by friends who have showed their support
Friends whom I have not met for decades
Friends from the blogosphere
whom I only know through their blogs
I talked to them for the first time
I met them in person for the first time
I even met up a mummy who bought baby slings from me eons ago
She was the first mummy blogger I knew
Her blog about her little boy was the first mummy blog I read
Her blog inspired me
and got me started writing 4 years ago
And then there were people whom are total strangers
who came forward to contribute
unconditionally, unsuspiciously and totally giving
It has only been slightly more than a week
and I know that
even if we fail to raise the targeted amount
even if we end up paying from our own pockets
It is okay
for we’ve already gained so much
For life’s biggest regret
is perhaps not about failing
but rather
it’s about not trying
At least we tried
And we have already passed our initial target amount of SGD 500
Thank You
Note : the list of toys that are on sales can be found at Toys for Happy Feet

Hi Rachel, wanted to drop a few lines at your blog earlier but again was delayed due to L**y bugs =p
You and your boy (MAL) had done GREAT job! You despite being heavily pregnant & Mal a young boy, taking effort to contribute back to the society! I should learn from both of you!
