Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Tens of thousands of people are living in appalling conditions in refugee camps in Syria. They urgently need warm clothing, bedding and medical supplies as the sub-zero winter temperatures descend. International Aid agencies have been unable to reach these people but a small British charity called Hand in Hand for Syria is successfully managing to get convoys of supplies through. Visit their website to find out more about them: www.handinhandforsyria.org.uk. On December 15th I am going to do a 20 mile sponsored walk around the Stepney area here in East London. I will go and buy warm bedding with all the money I raise and it will be taken out to Syria early in January. There is even a possibility that I might be flying out to join the convoy to see the aid being distributed. I will update you when I know more details. These supplies are desperately needed – please support me if you can. Thank you.

Founded by two British born Syrian businessmen HIHFAD has grown to become one of the most well respected and leading charities operating inside Syria. We work in places others cannot reach, providing aid directly to the most vulnerable Syrian children and refugees, ensuring your donation goes straight to those in most desperate need.
