Red letter week!

It's a week of good news here at Quest4Change - sunshine, lollipops and rainbows all round!

Pison, one of the young men who lives at Casa Lar, Rio de Janeiro

In the past week Quest4Change has received over £20,000 in individual donations to our projects - as we're a small charity with an annual income of just over five times that, it's an absolutely staggering amount, and we can't thank the individuals enough.

For our fantastic project partners, it's not about the money but what it can do - and for Ubaka U Rwanda, this means we can build the new home so desperately needed to provide real stability to the boys.

We have also today received a fantastic donation of £2,000 from a charitable trust to help us support the young men with disabilities at Casa Lar, Brazil.  This covers the cost of medicines for all 18 boys for three months: a real life-changing donation.

And if that wasn't enough on its own to keep us skittering about, we've also recently found out that if we get just 25 more shoppers on Give As You Live before 30th June, we'll get an extra £5 on every person's first purchase above £10!
