My story

A tattoo is not just for Christmas – sometimes it’s for Mary’s Meals!!

 

In October, you helped me to raise £380 and we provided 13,000 meals for the struggling refugees of Somalia. That was just SO cool! We saved lives with that money and I want to do it again!

 

If I can raise another £380 before Christmas for Mary’s Meals East Africa Appeal, I will have the continent of Africa tattooed on my left arm ... not actual size, of course ... courtesy of Wilmslow’s very own ink-meisters, The Tattoo Company!

 

£380 will buy a tonne of Likuni Phala, the fortified maize-soy porridge fed to children at Mary's Meals Feeding Shelters across Africa.  Christmas is a time for giving so let's give something special to the refugees in Somalia.

 

For us, a bowl of porridge is breakfast; for the people of Somalia, it could be a life saver.
