For my 50th birthday, instead of presents, I'd be grateful for any contributions as I'm raising funds for two charities that are very close to my heart: Happy Feet and Ashburnham Place, with a goal of £5,000 for each. You can find more information about them on below. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference.

Happy Feet - https://happyfeet.org.uk/

Target - £5,000

Happy Feet are dedicated to providing brand-new, well-fitting, comfortable school shoes to underprivileged children in Africa and other parts of the world. By giving these shoes, they help individuals who suffer from extreme poverty. They have conducted outreaches in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria with the most recent outreach held in the outskirts of Abuja, Nigeria in November 2024.

I come from the most populous black nation in the world, Nigeria, which hosts the largest population of out-of-school (OOS) children in the world. Please join me in putting dignity on the feet of children from less privileged backgrounds in Nigeria and other African nations.

Ashburnham Place - https://www.ashburnham.org.uk/contact-us/about-us/

Target - £5000

The Ashburnham Christian Trust welcomes tens of thousands of guests each year, and is home to a community drawn from around the world, who come to seek God in a tranquil & picturesque environment.

“It is our prayer that all who come here will experience the peace and love of God and find Ashburnham Place to be a place of blessing.“

I have had notable experiences with God on these grounds since I started visiting for personal retreats in 2012. I hope many tens & thousands of people have the opportunity to find connection and peace in this special place.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my GoFundMe page.

Donating through GoFundMe is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, I will withdraw funds directly and donate half of the proceeds to each charity.
