I am very lucky to have been accepted into the Queen of Hearts Foundation to Support Survivors of Abuse. It’s an honour and read on friends!
My 2014 has finished off in an exceptional way. My Online Marketing is coming together, I have picked up a stack of wonderful awesome new clients (thank you Sydney!) and I was very lucky to be invited to join Michele Ellery & Lisa Starr at “The Queen of Hearts” Charity to support and protect Child Abuse Survivors.
I have very fortunately and hardly been subject to abuse of this nature in my own life and I found learning more about Abuse Victims and their symptoms aren’t too radically different to my own “War Veteran” type of symptoms. That is PTSD, Hyper Vigilance, Paranoia, Excessive Emotions – basically all the stuff that makes me “Colourful” is quite similar to what abuse victims can feel on a daily basis.
This is found quite interesting, my “Homeless War Veteran” background strangely and unpredictably set me up to understand with sympathy and empathy what children go through in life as a result from being assaulted in creepy unspeakable manners.
I have been very fortunate to join the Foundation as a “Corporate Ambassador” in which I have donated my Business / Marketing Mentoring Abilities, My Connection Base (which is getting big these days) and also my Promotional Ability to help grow the foundation and achieve it’s rather noble objectives.
The foundation supports, protects, educates, advises and cleans up the “Fallout” from bad things that happen to good people in simple terms.
What got me involved with Lisa & Michele wasn’t originally the charity in all honest, it was my strong connection with them. I found them to be strong amazing women dedicated to a noble cause and I was lucky to MC one of their events to 230+ people. It was a hit and I loved them and they loved me (thank god) and from there things just naturally formed this way.
To me, joining this foundation is great thing for both of us. They get my thinking, technology and connection on the house and I get to give back and get the networking and “Sydney Wide Profile” for helping them.
My advice and thinking? Charitable work is a critical thing I think for anyone driven by success and aligned with the right cause, it’s a great opportunity to give back and get noticed for ones contributions. I have helped them with some great connections already and they rock – may I invite you to check out their amazing Facebook Page right here!
Love your work and thank you for the read!

above have left charity except for person who founded it. very bad charity, terrible help. someone needs to look into this place
I had a great short time there helping them out! They quite didn’t like my direct action taking business style, so they moved me on. Oh well, at least did what I could. Touch wood they have a great team today. I know a few people there who are really good (I still donate to them actually).
I don’t think you have really had a lot of invested time in this place. I’m not saying you haven’t tried to do some things with them but have not probably spent a lot of time there. It’s not nice when you’ve been there for a time trust me. I hope you look into a lot of other places to donate your money to as there are a lot more worthy ones out there I’m sure. If you have a look at the ambassador page most of those are gone also. This place is only skin deep and for the amount of years they have been running have still not got a full time counsellor. Most clients should just go straight to victim services for a counsellor. By pass this place if you can you don’t need them.
