Story

Hello beautiful people and thanks for reading my donation page first of all,

Those of you who know me know how much I love to shop, so I made a decision that from my 21st birthday to my 22nd I was going to give up buying bags, shoes, accessories and clothes for a whole year!

We are all really lucky to have everything we do and I know that I definitely take it all for granted so I wanted to set myself this challenge to see how well I do!

This charity is a human rights organisation which supports and educates women, especially those who have suffered violence in their home country. The organisation provides lawyers and advice for these women in countries where they may not understand their rights, helps them to pursue any legal cases with emotional and financial support and generally helps them to better their lives, and in doing so, the lives of their children and their husbands. 

It is a really important cause to me and this charity has done amazing things to help women who had little other hope. 

I hope you can sponsor me, therefore, to put my shopping to one side and think about other women around the world who couldn't dream of the luxuries we have. I am also going to put 20 pounds a month towards this charity so that money I would have spent on clothes will be sent to a better cause

 

Thanks in advance :)
