[Help] 11-year-old Dan's sponsored silence for AITC
- Thread starter Lush
- Start date
His mum just posted this:
"Dan says a massive THANK YOU to everyone. He never imagined he would have this level of support. To say he is feeling a sense of purpose right now is a big understatement. And I have never seen his eyebrows raised quite so high in amazement. We are both so appreciative of every single donation. Dan and Carla. "
I know not every donation is from NSC but it looks like the majority are. The forum at its best. Well played everyone. Hope it can get to a grand......

Donate or be quiet for 3 hoursI wonder if Barber is willing/able to do similar
Donate or be quiet for 3 hours
I think this has legs!
We could also accept donations to attempt to make him crack. For example I could pay to ask him why the club has run out of shirts and it’s only September. If he cracks the three hour clock starts again (once he has stopped talking of course :lolol)

In this case its not so much as the fact we are helping AITC it must be a massive boost for him personally and it will be great if this helps him overcome some of his issues
Agreed. And it would be great if collectively we could get him over the £1k mark.
£665 now. Amazing effort and a great story.

Up to £700 now, deserves a bounce
£725 and counting
Lovely stuff. And to think, he set himself a target of thirty quid!
Having read his really honest and touching back-story on the Just Giving page, this is a real 'good news' story.
Still time for anyone who wants to contribute, or just read the story and the subsequent comments from his mum as the total goes up and up...
It'll put a smile on your face. Here's the link:

I look nothing like him!
You don't have to donate the default £ 10. Just select it and type in what you can afford. If everyone on this board donated £ 1, he'd raise quite a few Grand.

I've had a pm from Dan's mum Carla, which she said I could post on here:
"I want to thank every single member that made a donation. Dan honestly couldn’t believe his eyes and kept coming to ask me to check my emails to see if it had gone up. And every time we checked, it had indeed gone up! He was so surprised and appreciative.
Dan struggles massively every single day. He has crippling anxiety and is on medication for depression. He was signed off school eventually after months of being part time. And the local authority as yet haven’t found him a suitable school. He gets so lonely and only has me and his younger brother (also autistic) as company. He is also falling behind academically. Despite my best efforts, I am not a teacher!
To see Dan smile so many times yesterday was not only rare, but on a personal and slightly selfish reason, made my day too!! His smile is so beautiful and I generally only see it when he’s near the Brighton players, especially of course his absolute idol, Maty Ryan.
So, from Dan and even more so myself, THANK YOU!!!"

Fantastic........has Maty tweeted the JG page ?
Probably my favourite ever thread on NSC!
Well done Dan, Dan's mum, Maty Ryan, Albion In the Community and Kay.
If anybody has just a few pounds they can donate, let's keep the ball rolling till Monday. This is one of those very rare occasions when everybody wins.
£745 so far. He's at 2483% of his £30 target. What a great kid.
"Hi, my name is Dan. I am 11 years old and I have autism. I absolutely love Brighton and Hove albion football club, especially Maty Ryan. I have started attending the autism football sessions run by this charity at the Brighton and Hove albion performance centre. They make me happy as I can finally do football. Another reason I really look forward to these sessions is that I can enjoy spending time with other children. I am not able to attend school at the moment so I get very lonely. I am raising money for Albion in the Community as a thank you for running these sessions. They do lots of other good things too. On Monday 20th August I will be doing a three hour long silence. As somebody who talks A LOT, I will find this very hard but I am determined to do it. Any donations however small will be amazing and I will be very grateful. Thank you in advance."

Come on, I'm sure Nsc and [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] can get this lad up to a grand.
Every little bit helps.
