Shhhhh this is a secret (don’t tell Georgia!)
We said goodbye to Mum’s beloved Bongo a few weeks ago and we would love it if we could raise some money that will go towards the cost of a new one.
The beautiful bongo has been a part of our family for almost a decade and many happy times were spent in that wonderful van at campsites, festivals and even in different countries. As a family, our fearless Mum would scoop us all up, and drive off into the horizon for a memorable adventure. We would have the most epic times and it’s thanks to our Mum and her adventurous spirit that has instilled a love of nature, the outdoors and curiosity in all of us.
For the last couple of years, the bongo van has had problem after problem but with Mum’s fierce optimism, the van had always ‘held on in there’, until this year when an important part of the engine wasn’t able to be fixed. We were all absolutely gutted when we heard the news but as ever, our incredible Mum said she is determined to get another van one day - maybe after she has qualified as a nurse and saved some money, in a few years time.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Mum will do this as she truly is the most hard working and determined person I know. However, I know how much happiness and joy the van brought Mum, and I’m sure everyone that knows her knows that she absolutely deserves that happiness. So, the reason we’re asking for people to contribute towards the cost of a new one is so that Mum doesn’t have to wait a for a few years, we can all club together and help her achieve her dream of a new van sooner :)
Big shout out and thank you to Freya for coming up with this idea! You are a genius! Freya said one of the nicest things about Mum, she said ”Georgia is so kind and always makes everyone feel so good about themselves. People will want to do the same for her too”.
So please do share and contribute if you are able too - thank you so much! I can’t wait to see the look on her face! :D
