Abriel & David hike the GR 20!

Donation protected
To celebrate one year of being married, we're taking on a big challenge - the GR20! Known as the most difficult trail in Europe, the GR20 runs through the mountains of Corsica and is famous for its difficult mountain terrain and beautiful scenery.

We've also decided to dedicate this hike to Oasis, and the challenges women migrants face in their difficult journeys to freedom and safety.

We are hoping to raise €1000 for Oasis' work with women migrants in Brussels who have experienced domestic violence or sexual exploitation. Abriel has been working for Oasis over the past year and a half, and has witnessed slow and steady transformation in the lives of many women who have come to Oasis for help. Oasis operates completely based on the generous donations of individuals and communities, and during the summer months it becomes particularly difficult to keep our programs running due to the drop in donations.

We want to invite you to join us in giving towards and learning more about this important topic. You can learn more about the work of Oasis at www.oasisbe.org and we'll be posting updates until we leave on August 4th.

Your donation will go towards:
>>5€ will provide the printing costs of 5 booklets that guide women through the process of creating a safety plan for exiting abusive relationships
>>15€ will keep our emergency hotline running for one month
>>20€ will enable an Oasis staff member to accompany a woman to her appointments with social services, police, or lawyers
>>50€ will allow us to provide 2 nights of emergency housing services to a woman in a crisis situation

Even if you're only able to give €1 (or $1) please consider giving towards a project we believe in with our whole hearts. 

Thank you!

"Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human." - Henri Nouwen




We've chosen to do the hardest part of the GR-20, a total of 80 km, with more than 10.000m elevation changes



Oasis has hubs around the world dedicated to bringing vulnerable people into community
