Cyclone Yasi Charity Auction

For Katy & I the last 2 weeks have been incredibly difficult. Our community has been hit by one of the largest cyclones Australia has ever seen. The picture above shows you what happened at the small seaside community of Tully Heads when Cyclone Yasi came through. This is the street where one of our gorgeous friends and her family's house is. They've now lost their home and everything in it and all of their neighbours have lost their homes too. A whole community has been torn apart.


Some of our readers know Carolyn and have spoken to her online at connect2mums, she was the photographer who did a photoshoot at the beach with Katy & I for our feature in LittleOne Baby magazine in September of last year and she regularly attends Live Chat whenever she can. She is a beautiful person with 2 bright young boys, who is now 'homeless' and uncertain as to what the future will hold for her and her family.
I could not let this opportunity for us to help Carolyn in her greatest hour of need go by. And I hope you will all join me in helping her and her family on their road to recovery.
We are holding a charity auction to raise funds for Carolyn and other families whose homes have been destroyed by Cyclone Yasi. All funds raised by connect2mums will be distributed by registered non-profit organisation Mothers Helping Others Inc. (which was set up specifically to help cyclone recovery in the Cassowary Coast). We will call for donations of items this week (12 - 19 Feb) and then the charity auction will run the following week (20 - 26 Feb) the auction will be held at the 'Connect to Aussie mums' fan page
