Refugee Supplies Postage Pot
Donation protected
I've been wanting to do something for Syrian refugees. After being absolutely heartbroken by the pictures and stories I have seen of families fleeing their homes and making perilous journeys across the sea, I've donated what I can to various charities, but I needed to do something more.
I initially wanted to hire a van and drive over there, but I can't be apart from my little one that long (still breastfeeding!), and I don't wish to take her on such a long journey with me.
So, I have sourced an address in Hungary where I can send supplies for those refugees stranded in Keleti Railway Terminal, Budapest. There are many children here, so my priority is to send items to help them.
I am accepting donations of items locally (please join the Facebook Group in order to see how you can help with this aspect of my campaign: https://www.facebook.com/groups/844612112321014/)
, but I will need the funds to courier the items out there, which is where this page comes in. I have set a £500 target initially, but I will continue to post things for as long as there are things to post and money in the pot to send them.
