Help us get Hannah Home

UPDATE: Due the help of everyone sharing the story, Hannah has thankfully been found and one of her friends is on the way to Cusco to persuade her to accept support and come home. We know she has been refusing help due to the complexity of her mental health so it is most likely that she will need to placed into psychiatric care before getting a flight back. This is an ongoing process but we are doing all we can to bring her back safely!

We are urgently raising funds to help bring our dear friend, Hannah Almond, safely back to the UK from Peru.

Hannah travelled to Peru in March hoping for an adventure, but instead, she has found herself in a terrifying and heartbreaking situation. She was robbed and assaulted, losing her passport, phone, and all of her money. Since then, Hannah’s mental health — something she has long struggled with — has severely declined.

She is now in the midst of a mental health crisis, living under a bridge with a homeless man she befriended — the only person she currently trusts. Despite attempts to help her through official channels, Hannah is deeply fearful and unable to accept support from the embassy or local authorities. She is extremely vulnerable, isolated, and not safe living on the streets of Peru.

We are trying to raise as much as we can to take immediate action. The funds will go towards:

• A flight & accommodation for family or a friend to fly to Peru and try to gently and lovingly persuade her to come home

• Accommodation and food for her while she is there

• Emergency medical or psychological care, which may be necessary before she is well enough to travel

• Any travel and logistical costs required to bring her home safely including passport and visa .

Hannah is a deeply kind and gentle soul, and we are desperate to get her the care and safety she deserves. Please, if you can spare anything at all, your donation could make all the difference. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this page could help reach someone who can.

We need to bring Hannah home.

Any extra donations will be given to a mental health charity.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
