We are very pleased to announce that Leona’s fundraising auctions for Oxfam’s Haiti earthquake response, after attracting 170 eBay bids, have together raised nearly £12,000!

The money is enough to buy lifesaving equipment such as hygiene kits for 1,200 families or basic latrines for 9,600 people.

The main attraction was of course the chance to spend an afternoon with Leona, which went for £10,520!. The haircut and style by Leona’s hairstylist Ben Cooke went for £405, a lesson from Leona’s make-up artist Jane Bradley raised £230, and the signed presentation disc and goody-bag reached £720!

Leona had this to say… “The response to the auction was just incredible. Oxfam do amazing work, and I’m delighted to have done my bit to help them save lives in Haiti. I can’t wait to meet the winner and spend the afternoon with them, and would like to thank everyone who put in a bid for their support.”

In addition to her efforts on the charity single ‘Helping Haiti Everybody Hurts‘, Leona Lewis wants to do more to help the Haiti relief effort. As a result, we have teamed up with the Oxfam Haiti Appeal to auction off some very exclusive prizes directly from Leona. Fans have the chance to bid for a variety of items including:

- An afternoon spent with Leona horseriding / bowling / dinner – who knows where she’ll take you?!

- A signed presentation disc including an album, single, promo poster and book – all signed!

- A haircut and styling session from Leona’s expert hair stylist BEN COOKE at his London salon ‘Lockonego’

- A make-up lesson from Leona’s make-up artist JANE BRADLEY in London.

The auction closes this Friday. For more information and to bid please visit: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/Haitiauction
