Below is information on Past YuleFunds….
2002:
The support for our first Yuletide Fund was outstanding, we have 9 very happy youngsters thanks to you all, and 4 Dads & Moms who are overjoyed also, keep up the good work comrades…
2003:
Over $600 was spent this year on 9 different people on our Yule Fund List, and we also had a little over $200 left which was donated to a prisoner in PA. Our member in Missouri had a great time buying for a 12 year-old boy; he got some great stuff and we were told by her mother the day after Yule how thrilled he was with what he got! Thanks to all who helped us with this year’s Fund, we are forever grateful for your support!
In Europe WAU raised 230 euro for the Fund, and gifts were bought for 2 girls in Italy. 18 euro that remained was donated to Excalibur Publications. A big thanks to everyone who supported this Fund and helped to create a happier Yule for these children!
2004:
Another Yule Fund was a great success for WAU; we would like to thank Tuesday for all her wonderful work and support on this year’s Fund. Many familes throughout the world were helped this year.
In Europe we were able to buy gifts for 4 boys, 2 girls and 3 mothers in Rumania. B&H Rumania confirmed that the gifts arrived safely and they were opened with great joy! A special thanks to Portugal where so many people bought our raffle tickets!
Our member in Chile raised about $20 which was used to buy 3 T-shirts and 2 DVDs. An Argentinian comrade also donated approx. 8 dollars which enabled WAU to make 10 Christmas boots with candies and chocolates.
2005:
We would like to thank you all for your tremendous support during our annual Yuletide Fund; in the USA we were able to send gifts to 3 different families totaling 11 people. You made another Yuletide a memorable one for the Families of our Prisoners and The Gaudin Family! With all the proceeds and support were able to get Ian Gaudin his first Big Boy Bike. Below is an excerpt of Kathleen’s letter:

Ian & I want thank you all for your kindness. I love the locket and the frame please tell all the ladies I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Enclosed are some pictu res of Ian and his new bike he was so surprised at 6yrs old. He still believes in Santa clause. I hope there is someway you can share the pictures with the girls.
[...] Again we both thank you and send love. I especially want to thank you ***** for all the letters of encouragement you send. Again we both thank you and send our love Kathleen and Ian.”
In Europe WAU raised 464 euro for a family in Finland whose father is in jail; thanks to people in France, Holland, Ukraine, Rumania, Italy, Finland and England for their donations and fundraising, and thanks to all who advertised this, it went better than any year before!
2006:
WAU would like to thank everyone who supported our annual Yule Fund – freebird, Baptiste, Marc, B&H Ukraine, Skins4Skins, E.D.A. Propaganda and others. In Europe we raised 500 euro for the Finnish family and 375 euro was donated after the shipping costs of sold items and raffle prizes. The mother used the money for children’s gifts, and one part she sent to the father in jail, and one part was put in save for a common trip. Below is a New Year’s card from the mother including this message and a thanks to everyone, it’s written in Finnish:

2007:
This autumn WAU Finland received some item donations (CDs, prisoner-made clocks, clothing) and although everything had not been sold by Yule WAU raised 134,6 euro – 40 euro for prisoner support in Italy, 20 euro for a prisoner in Helsinki and 75 euro for a prisoner and his family in Eastern Finland. Thanks again to Skins4Skins and freya79, and everyone who bought the items and even donated extra. I would also like to thank V-P and other imprisoned comrades in Finland for making such beautiful items for us to sell – everyone just loved them!
