Charitable Donations for Birmingham - PLEASE HELP
As you are probably aware, last week, a serious tornado hit parts of
southern Birmingham,
News of the disaster was swiftly carried to the civilised world by
pay-as-you go SMS messages. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly
muttering 'blooooodyell' and 'yourite?'. The tornado decimated the area
causing several pounds worth of damage. Several priceless collections of
mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond repair.
Several historic Ford Sierras and Nissan Bluebirds were blown off there brick
plinths. A large number of 3 series BMW's had there alloy wheels damaged and
a quantity of Renault Clio's had there tinted windows blown out. Many locals
were woken well before their giro arrived.
One resident, Sharon Knowles, a 15yr old single mother of seven said: "It
was such a shock, my little Beyonce came running into my bedroom
crying. My youngest two, Azif and Delbert slept through it all. I was still
shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning".
Another resident, Community worker Royston Akimose, 38, said: "I was 'avin'
a meetin' wiv a business associate, the sky went dark, an, de next fing I
know, me ganj is blown all over 'is Impreza!"
Apparently though, looting and car crime did carry on as normal. The British
Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of sunny delight to the
area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through
the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which
include benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and bone china
from Pound Stretcher.
How Can You Help?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. Clothing is most sought
after, items needed include: Fila or Burberry baseball caps; Kappa tracksuit
tops (his & hers); Von Dutch t-Shirts; White sports socks; Rockport boots; Any large gold plated accessories.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include microwave meals, tins of baked beans, ice cream, and bottles of Smirnoff Ice. 22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation
forms, £2.00 buys fish, chips & blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9, and
£5.00 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those
affected. Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing
is unfair on the population in neighbouring areas.
Please help – do all you can to help these poor people in this time of need.
