Have you heard of the Valentine Charity Auction?
Posted by pelf in Charity, Conservation & EnvironmentYuin Yin bought some new clothes back from Russia not too long ago (some with price tags still attached) and these new clothes are being put up for auction to raise funds for Yvonne’s medical treatments. As usual, 100% of all funds raised from the auctions will be channeled towards Yvonne’s medical fund for future use.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with these two very sweet and cheerful Malaysian bloggers, Yuin Yin is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with a parotid gland tumour in 2007, and had since gone through therapies and treatments.
Yvonne, on the other hand, is diagnosed with a genetic disease called Neurofibromatosis Type II (NF2). The disease causes benign tumors to grow in her body all her life, and as such, she would need constant medical attention and at times, surgeries. Yvonne started raising funds for her medical treatments in 2006 by selling T-shirts, cap, earrings, etc. (visit her online store). Yvonne is also the author of I’m Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell which can also be bought from her online store.
Now, in conjunction with Valentine’s Day, the auction will be held from 30th January to 7th February on YvonneFoong.com. Two pieces of clothings will be put up for bidding every three days. Each winning bidder is advised to pay as soon as he/she wins the bid so that the item can be shipped in time as a Valentine’s Day gift to their choice of recipient. Payment may be made by online bank transfer. Buyers will bear the postage fee.
If you haven’t gotten anything for your other half this 
Valentine’s Day , head on over to Yvonne’s blog and start bidding. All for a good cause

When I click the picture and the link in the story, Firefox tells me it cannot find the page YvonneFoong.com.
Must be a bug in my firewall somewhere. The link you sent didn’t work, but I Googled her site and that didn’t work either, but the Google cached page works just fine.
Thanks!
