The Stratton ABC Foundation is our own project aiming at giving something back to this beautiful country that has given me so much since being here. Inspired by helping out at an existing Childrens Home, and by my own work back in the UK as a support worker with Autistic Children, we are setting up this Foundation with the hope of raising enough funds to purchase land and construct a purpose built, high standard Care Home for vulnerable Children, here in Chiang Mai.
It is our hope to open our first Home, in a rented building, within the next couple of months as a working example of our standards of care, whilst continuing to raise the funds for the bigger Home.
Obviously we will need to raise sponsorship for both legs of the project and, apart from planning fund raising events, we are now adding a Paypal facility for online donations. You may donate here, using the button on the right side of the page, or at our official Foundation Website.
Looking for a way to make a clear distinction between the funds needed for day to day running of our first home, and the fund for the purpose built unit, we have taken inspiration from the popular “coinline” fund raising idea.
And so I am asking any visitor to this site to please consider donating the equivalent of 10 pence Sterling(UK coinage).
Please use the Paypal facility on the right hand side of this site or in the same place on the foundation website, please title your donation “coinline”.
All contributors will be acknowledged on a special page and the account balance of the fund, as well as the ‘distance’ covered published weekly so you can follow its progress. This ‘coinline’ will stand as a symbolic path to our Goal and will end on completion of the purpose built unit we hope establish.
If you wish to make a larger contribution please do so separately, tagging your contribution ‘general fund’. Or alternatively, if you wish to donate for a specific area; i.e education, transport, days out; simply add your own tag in the paypal message box.
Larger donations meant specifically for the purpose built unit should be tagged ‘ Stratton Haven’.
