Team B (For Build)
Kirsten, Chris, Blaise, Luke, Josh, Bella and Billy
========================================
!!!UPDATE 5TH DEC!!!
We have two new team members!
Luke and Blaise will be traversing the channel with us!
We've made some changes to the budget to get them over there, as there were only 2 seats in the van, so need just a little more money.
NEW BREAKDOWN:
Car hire - £125
Gas - £40
Ferry - £70 (it's cheaper for a car than a van)
Accommodation x4 people x4 nights - £200 (has gone up a little - we were a bit ambitious before!)
= £435
Go Fund Me take 6%, and we may be able to fill the extra seat, so would need another $50 for accommodation.
So our new aim is to raise £500 to make sure we cover everything - any extra cash outstanding from the list above will be donated to the A Home For Winter charity to put towards building materials.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your every penny!
BIG UPS YOURSELVES!

HI GUYS!
I'll try keep it brief... As you are aware, over 4000 people in Calais are having a pretty crap time (please see illustration below).
Myself and my construction associate Chris Cooper (of the internationally renowned Cooper and Sons Ltd) would love to help build them some shelters for these trying winter months, but unfortunately we have no money to get there; (we’re artists).
What we do have is time. If you could donate a little money to work in conjunction with our time, together we could help people.
I have included this handy equation to further explain this theory:
Time + Nothing = Time
Money + Nothing = Money
Time + Money = Shelters
Shelters x People = Warm people
Warm people = Alive
Would you be able to spare us a few pennies, so we can sail over on the ferry like swans of salvation and weald our power tools in a blazing frenzy of productivity not witnessed since the big bang? Anything, no matter how small, would be super appreciated.
We will be joining the A Home for Winter team who have just been certified a charitable fund, are backed by Médicins Sans Frontirès and already have 100 shelters housing displaced people in Calais.

We will be opperating out of their new warehouse near The Jungle, constructing shelters and then installing them on site. 
COST BREAKDOWN:
Transporting van and tools on ferry = £200 (No wonder I haven't been to France for a while)
Diesel = £30
Accommodation x 4 Days x 2 People = £70
There's not much time to raise the required funds (1 week) as we plan to leave on Friday the 12th and return Tuesday the 15th.
BONUS REFUGEE SPECIAL OFFER:
In the style of charity for every £10 you donate I will release one Justin Bieber cover on YouTube, whilst Chris has promised that if we reach the £300 target he will tattoo every single donors name on his face.
But for serious, people are living in desperate, squalid conditions over there and rising levels of sickness and dropping temperatures are making it really hard, not to mention the fact that they're sometimes treated like scum by the authorities. LET'S HEAL THE WORLD YEH!
Thank you x forever
All my love,
Mother Theresa
