Hi, I’m Freddie, and I’m part of a band "Saintz" with LIGHT (Charity No. 1201633)—a charity that uses music to share a message of hope, mental health support, and the good news of Jesus with young people across the UK and beyond.

On Friday, 27th June, we have an amazing opportunity: a gig in Albania, where we’ll connect with young people through music and remind them they have a hope and a future in Jesus.

Here’s the challenge:

I’m leaving London on Sunday 22nd June with just a single penny in my pocket, and I’ve got 5 days to make it all the way to Albania—without spending any donated money on myself. I’ll be relying only on strangers' kindness, hitchhiking, odd jobs, and creativity to cover food, transport, and accommodation. It’s a test of faith, resilience, and the generosity of people I meet along the way.

All the money raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to LIGHT—to support our work, fund future outreach, and help us reach more young people with the transformative message of Jesus.

Why this journey?

To raise awareness and funding for LIGHT’s mission.

To show that hope can start with something as small as a penny—and faith.

To inspire others that stepping out in faith can lead to powerful impact.

Your donation will:

✅ Support LIGHT’s work with young people through music and ministry.

✅ Help fund future gigs, school visits, and creative outreach.

✅ Fuel a story that proves God can do a lot with a little.

Follow the journey in real-time on social media (@freddosussman) , and watch how a penny becomes a platform for hope, music, and faith. I'll also be releasing a full vlog after on YouTube, so stay tuned for that.

Thank you so much for being part of this. Whether you donate, pray, or simply share this page—you’re helping bring LIGHT into young lives across Europe.
