Thank you so much for coming forward and offering your kindness, help and generosity in one way or another.
The last remaining logistic issue I mentioned awhile back was about the location.
This morning, I went down to recce a pet-store/grooming salon that has an adequete space/area to do a mobile studio with at least a two-light and reflector set-up. The only down-side is the location is a bit more towards one end of the island than being centralised. This may or may not affect donors' participation.
So, it looks like we're all set.
EXCEPT, I need to look for a table that's at least 4 feet x 4 feet, or two slightly smaller tables.
Now all we have to do is hope that the number of donors are sufficient to make next weekend a go-ahead. If the numbers are too little, we'll either consolidate it one ONE day only, or have no choice but to push it to the following weekend, which we hope won't be the case.
ONE GREAT WAY you all can help is to help spread the word round, both about Charmaine's plight as well as the Doggie Charity Photoshoot.
Below are the messages I've been providing for convenience. Please feel free to use whatever intro you feel is best.

HELP SAVE OUR FIESTY PRINCESS CHARMAINE LIM
Do drop by her blog and websites and offer help in anyway you can. Imagine if less than a quarter of Singapore donated just ONE DOLLAR each, Charmaine's chances of living may be increased from 20% to 40-50%
Every little bit helps.
