Fashion For Compassion...We Need Your Help

 A young Vietnamese teenager was returning books at a public liberary late at night...she was later found beaten half to death and raped. The man was arrested but the girl is still suffering. She is now blind and suffering from brain damage and her family are going through trouble and running through all their money to pay for her medical bills. Their Medicaid expired not too long ago and they need help. My friends and I were moved my this story and felt compelled to start a fundraiser to help the girl and her family.

An article on this story can be found here


Our plea to you

FASHION FOR COMPASSION

Tickets are now $20.00 online or $25.00 at the door.

http://www.fashionforcompassion.eventbrite.com/

For anyone who already purchased their ticket when it was $30.00, we will refund you $10.00




A fashion show fundraiser to help raise money for this victim and her family on September 27th 2008.

Where? The Tampa Convention Center

What we need?

A sponsor for the fundrasier, it will be a fashion show. We have the place already and we need around 3,000 dollars.

We need clothes from any designer, independent or name brand it does not matter. The more the better. Male and female clothes


Here is a proper proposal if you need this to show to anyone

"FASHION FOR COMPASSION"

August 22, 2008


To Whom It May Concern,

Two weeks before high school graduation, an 18 year old girl stopped by her local library late at night to return her books. She was later found brutally raped and beaten half to death. The victim is now suffering from brain damage, unable to speak or move, and is now blind. Due to the incident, her family is nearly bankrupt and her Medicaid recently expired. She had a full ride scholarship to a University. Now, her recent progress was lifting her head for merely 10 seconds.

After hearing about this story, we were inspired to help the victim and her family. We are hosting a fashion show fundraiser on September 27, 2008. We believe your support will greatly benefit this event. Please, inform us if there is anything needed to make it a possibility. Hopefully, we will be working together for a great cause.

 

Sincerely yours,

Michelle Phan

"Please email me at THERICEBUNNY@YAHOO.COM"

This is a very serious matter and any kind of help will do. Any suggestions please email me!
Donations are Accepted
All proceeds goes to the victim to help pay her medical bills

how sad!! i hope the fundraiser goes well. i would recommend going to clothing stores around the area, talking to the managers and telling them about the fashion show fundraiser, and i'm sure they'd be willing to help and lend clothes for you guys to model.

Hey Michelle.  You can try contacting my Sorority at the USF campus to see if they want to hold the event with you.  If they can help, it'll be easier to get businesses to donate clothing or money because alpha Kappa Delta Phi has a tax ID number which businesses can use to write off their donations.  I dont know who the VP of service is this year but Heather Kawapunna is the President.  Just a suggestion that might help you with your donations.

@RiceBunny - 

, Michelle this is a really sad event and I think I'm going to pitch in and help. It's amazing that you don't even know the people and decided to start a fundraiser and your kindness and honesty completely blows me away. I've always loved helping people in the past and this seems like a good opportunity to contribute.

This is so sad. Things like this happen everday. I was approached by a man less than a week ago offerring me $500 to take him down the street.(story posted on my page). I dont want to know what his plan was.

When I was in high school, we had Spring fashion shows. We went to go talk to local stores in the mall & they would let us borrow some stuff and have us return it after the show was done. You can perhaps try that if needed.

Is there a Pay Pal donation account we can send $ to? Besides pay pal is there an address we can mail a donation to instead? Pay Pal takes about 3% of the amount being received and would rather the victim get every penny donated.

Best of luck to the girl & her family.
