COMPANY OVERVIEW: The Orange Pigeon Inc is a non profit orgination indorsed with the Australian Taxation Office, which provides wishes and moments of distraction to adults with serious illness. They are the ONLY oraganistion that offers this service to adults in Australia.
WHY I LOVE THE ORANGE PIGEON.!!!!
Late 2013 I contacted Jenny who is the founder of The Orange Pigeon to see if she could help us make a dream come true for a friend Krissy who was dying from Cancer . Her dream was to take her 3 young children to Qld . Jenny was on board and helped so much .
I was impressed by the charity as when I had started looking for charities to help I was shocked that there were none for adults. There were organistions like make a wish foundation but they were for kids,this is the only one of its kind in Australia.
Jenny started this charity for personal reasons herself. Her best friend Nadine was seriously ill with cancer and there were no charitys to help. So she along with amazing volunteers started this extraodinary charity.
I cant believe there is no other charities for adults. Lets face it we all know someone over 18 years of ages who is seriously ill, and they deserve help and wishes too.
I could go on about them forever the amount of love and support they give to the families and friends of the sick person is so touching. Jenny would keep me updates on Krissies trip plans, even when Krissy lost her fight on the 2nd of March 2014 , Jenny contacted me and her and some people from the charity all came to the funeral.
I believe she is an angel sent here to help others ,she is so selfless,caring, kind, sweet,friendly and hard working is amazes me, she spends hours upon hours as do the volunteers trying to help others have a memory to remember before they leave this world.
The wishes they grant can be different in every case, Some people would like to see family that live interstae or overseas and they help them with airfares. Some people just want to be comfortable in the last stretch of their lives so there wish might be a new comfy bed or a new Tv or chair to sit on. Every wish is different and The Orange Pigeon will help them as much as they can.
You can find them on Facebook under :
The Orange Pigeon Inc.
To see what they are about and all the wishes they have granted to ill adults you can visit there website at www.orangepigeon.org.au
At the wesite you can also help by donating ......EVERY DOLLAR HELPS, and every donation made is tax deductable .
If you have a business maybe you can help and be apart of making a wish come true.
I just believe that in our lifetime we may need help from a charity like The Orange Pigeon we all grow up and we know someone over the 18 who is or has been sick and with places and people like this why not help anyway we can.
