Welcome
Loafdom for the Turtle was established in 2011 to raise funds for The Painted Turtle, and operates with their full support. Profits from all items purchased are sent to the charity at the end of each month, and 100% of all commissions from items in our CafePress shop are paid directly by CafePress to them as the only named beneficiary. This site offers budget jewellery and gifts; some are aimed at Meat Loaf fans, many are not, but we have some great Meat Loaf memorabilia.
Additionally we have a site, AAbacus Jewellery, which offers quality sterling silver jewellery at competitively low prices because unlike most jewellery sites the few overheads we have we meet ourselves. The range is ideal for presents and wedding and party favours, for men, women and children. Again all profits go to The Painted Turtle.
What Is The Painted Turtle?
An innovative year-round camp with a simple, yet challenging and inspiring vision; to provide a life-changing environment which enables seriously ill children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses to reach beyond their own and others’ expectations.Their work is truly extraordinary, as are the achievements of the children who attend.
This was the charity Meat Loaf took to his heart when he agreed to appear in Celebrity Apprentice USA 2011. We are Meat Loaf fans who want to continue to raise money for this remarkable work. Meat has so many fans around the world. We hope you will want to show your support for both our sites by recommending them to family, friends and work colleagues.
