Help mike and griz rebuild
Donazione protetta
Hi All,
we are Ria and Gemma we are in the UK and heard that our lovely friend Mike and his dog Griz have lost their home and all of thier belongings in the forest fires in Portugal.
Gemma and I met Mike many (many) years ago when we all worked the UK festivals together.
Mike and Griz moved out there a year ago to live a more sustainable life...Mike’s been excitedly busy all year clearing his land, planting trees and starting to renovate the old ruin. It hasn’t been all rosy though... he’s given blood, sweat and tears to that land...no running water, little electric from solar and lots of back breaking work. The fires have wiped out everything he had there.
Thankfully Mike and Griz escaped unhurt but have now been left with nothing.
We are hoping to get them both back on their feet so they can start to rebuild their life.
Immediate funds will go on
