After experiencing a very public break-up during the latter part of 2012, artiste Mr Vegas is aiming to make 2013 a year of turning negatives into positives.

The entertainer has announced a new charity titled 'Turning Dust Into Bricks'.

Mr Vegas has decided to auction the furniture that were part of the much publicised controversial Wedgewood home that he shared with his ex-girlfriend, in hopes that this will help raise money for the charities he supports.

''I cannot bare to see them and, after throwing away the bed, I thought about the pain versus the waste. In thinking, I realised I was being selfish and there were many ways that people could benefit from this, one being the children from the Mustard Seed Community, which is a charity I support. Also, in doing this, I would hope to teach men who have been in my position that all is not lost, a little laughter will help. Try turning your bad situation or circumstance into a good one, this world is about healing," the singjay said.

He went on to say that, if he had thrown the furniture away, people would be unaware of his healing process.

The first auction includes pieces of the much-publicised bedroom set, and the bid will begin at US$9.99.

The second auction, will also open with a bid of US$9.99 and consists of a three-piece taupe micro-fibre and leather living-room set.
