Check out this wonderful video with Aesha Jean Scott, star of Bravo TV's Below Deck Mediterranean, who just stopped by Lake Chelan to help us raise money for a family that could truly use some support.
The Vacation Angel Network has donated a property at the lake for a three day getaway. We are doing a silent auction of the getaway to raise funds. We are offering any available 3 days - no black-outs to a lucky family or group who wins the bid. There are two identical side by side houses - so you can team up with another family for a perfect socially-distanced getaway.
The video explains more - but you can send us a private bid on Facebook messenger (from our Vacation Angel Network FB page) - Or shoot us a message to ask for details about the rental house.
The value of this getaway is about $2,000 but - if you met this incredible family and saw the struggles they are going through, and how they are responding with such grace and conviction, you would realize that the true value of this three day getaway is priceless.
So, please don't hesitate to bid the price up higher. 100% of the proceeds will go to help this family.
If a vacation is not in the cards. There is a link for a fundraiser on our Vacation Angel Network FB Page where you can make a direct donation, and, honestly, any amount helps.
Whether you are, or are not in a position to help, please share this post with your Facebook friends in the hopes it will find its way to those who can.
I'll leave you with a quote from Christopher Robinson Schweitzer, one of the earliest settlers in the Chelan Valley, recalling the nascent days of our community:
"In Every town, there were both joys and sorrows, and Chelan was no different. I remember that the concern of one was the concern of all. There were no organized charities, but if ever there was a need, that need was met."
Our communities are bigger now, but the sentiment remains.
Please reach out if you have any questions, and thank you so much for your support.
