Go over here for all the FAQs regarding this event including how to donate, where to send your softie, who will receive your softie, and what the Mirabel Foundation is all about. At this stage, if you want to donate to the Christmas Appeal your donation/s will need to be received by the 13th of December.
This is an excellent example of crafting for a cause. And hey - no excuses about not knowing how to make a softie. That is what softiemaking.com is here for! I am sure you will find a softie to make and donate. So get cracking!
