Scotland's Shoes
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sarah Johnson.
I'm trying to raise money for Glasgow Food Banks which have become a disgrace to our society. After the Conservatives came into power in 2010, there has been a significant increase in Food Banks. The reason for this is that the Conservatives have imposed a large set of austerity measure which have removed the safety net from the most vulnerable in our society. This was a Conservative Government which the Scottish people DID NOT VOTE FOR. As a consequence more and more people are having to rely on using Food Banks just to survive. Imagine waking up every day and not being able to even feed your children never mind yourself? Well, unfortunately this is the harsh reality of what we are currently living in.
I will be walking from London to Glasgow on the 2nd of September to join the Independence rally on the 17th of September in order to raise funds for this cause. There will be the possibility of hitchhiking during the trip due to either severe exhaustion or running out of time to arrive in Glasgow. Therefore if you could possibly give as much as possible throughout this time period it would be greatly appreciated. I have my own funds to get there myself, therefore every single penny of your donation will be distributed to all the Food Banks within Glasgow. I will also be posting regularly on my twitter account: @thejohnsonss where I shall display my route to Glasgow in the coming days.
The reason this means so much to me is because the City of Glasgow is my home. On the 18th of September I am proud to say that The City of Glasgow voted YES - to Independence in order to help bring people out of poverty.
Similarly, the whole of Scotland unanimously voted to remain within the European Union. Yet to be pulled out of the European Union against our will is a complete and utter shambles. This can only mean that to stay within Britain, the use of Food Banks will steadily become the norm. This is not something I want for my country. I strongly believe that together Scotland though independence, and remaining part of the European Union can prosper as a Nation and prevent this occurrence from happening.
Not only will I be so thankful if you could please help to reach this target of £20,000, but I know others will be too. The demand for Food Banks is only increasing which means we must do what we can to help. Please share this far and wide. Please give what you can. Even a simple pound could buy a few tins of beans for someone.
Thank you.
