Stephanie and Helen with the card
The inside of the cardBut that’s not why I’m writing now.
I just popped out to the reception desk to see Helen and Stephanie about something and was excited to spy a Hallmark (PRODUCT) RED card standing proudly on the front desk for all staff and visitors alike to see! I opened it up and hey presto I was promptly serenaded by:
Lean on me
when you’re not strong,
and I’ll be your friend,
I’ll help you carry on
How neat! A (RED) song card winging its way across the Atlantic... but who from, I wondered?
Auburn University students in Alabama who wanted to tell us they support (RED), that’s who. So Allie, EmilyAnne, Alex, both Kristies, Caroline, Katie, Lindsey, both Ashleys, Brigitte, Sara, Laura, Jackie, Holly, Whitney, Emily, Meredith, Amelia, Kelly, Katy, all your friends… thank you!!
Happy Holidays to you all

Hey Greta,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story with us. I think that it's really important to highlight how individuals are supporting (RED) in their support of the Global Fund.
I also have an EXTRAORDINARY Holiday story to share about (RED) and I think that this thread is the perfect place.
The other night, at our Christmas Eve gathering, my daughter and her fiance presented me with several presents.
To my great surprise, my daughter handed me an envelope and said "open it".
What was inside was a receipt from the UN Foundation showing that my daughter and her fiance made a $50 (two $25 contributions) donation to the Global Fund in my name in support of (RED)!
This is TRULY the BEST Christmas present that I could have received - knowing that my support of (RED) and the movement to make extreme poverty history actually has had such a positive effect on my family and that they knew that what would make me the happiest is for them to donate money to the Global Fund to save more lives and futures in Africa!
I wanted to share my Christmas story with all of you here. I'm sure that it brightens your spirits to know that (RED) is starting to have more than just a consumeristic effect on people.
More and more people are beginning to learn about the issues surrounding AIDS in Africa and find ways to financially help our movement to end extreme poverty as they continue to BUY (RED)!
Thanks Greta, Adele, Thembi, Tamsin, Rocky, bn, Sylvia, Bobby, Bono and more - thanks in part to all of you my family is becoming more aware and slowly growing in their activism for Africa.~
What more could I ask for?
Take very good care of each other, my dear friends at (RED). Blessings are always around!
ALWAYS (RED) AT HEART, debbie :)
How wonderful! I gave RED bracelets and candles fromt the GAP to friends and family for Christmas gifts. I love this cause! Season's Greetings.
That's great! I would love one of those!!
