Along the way of our collecting books to sell, or just through the generosity of others, people gave us various other things to help raise money. The entire proceeds from the sale of these items was donated.
Support from so many people Many people supported us in gathering interesting things to sell. We picked up wonderful free items on Gumtree (and rescued great pieces from the side of the road!). But, we want to mention the Mitchell Road Design and Antique Centre (mitchellroad.wordpress.com/) who responded to a request from us for donations by providing so many lovely things. We also received many donations of lovely things from Sarah at "Old School Road" (https://theoldschoolroad.com/). All of these contributed enormously to the amount we were able to donate so far. For the moment, we are not selling interesting pieces to allow time to focus on other ideas. But that may change in the future!
