The Evening Times is reporting today that The Braendam House, a charity home allowing poor families to vacation, was saved by JK Rowling's Volant Charitable Trust, among others. It had been nearing closure after running out of money: The size of the donation has not been revealed. As well as the cheque from Volant, other trusts have contributed to a rescue package for Braen dam House, including the Cattanach Trust, Robertson Trust, Endrick Trust, Mugdock Children's Trust, and the Balmore Coach House Trust. Cath Morrison, chief executive of the Lilias Graham Trust, said the new money would keep the charity going until at least next March. She said: "It is fantastic news. It was like TV's The Secret Millionaire."

Thats so great of Jo. Ive always admired her for being so charitable - its good that she uses the money for such good causes. Id really like someone, someday, to add up how much money the HP fandom has collectively given to charities, including JKR. Ill bet its a who(m)pping amount!!

Her quiet dignity and generosity is awe-inspiring. She gives from the heart not for publicity and that makes her philantrophy even more precious. She is a wonderful role-model. Thank You Jo!

Now, some people, majesties and entities should follow her example...,While she works on my request to craft a story where the magic and strenght come not from the tip of a pointed, oblisque-shaped object kept far from the HEART, but rather from the HEART itself: from the core of our BEINGS...It would be a nice change :D
