Js life was in danger in his home country so he fled to the UK two years ago. He is now an Asylum Seeker who has been living in Lancaster for more than a year.

Recently the situation became even more perilous in his home country and his wife and children also had to claim asylum in Britain. Thankfully they are safe now: but they are currently housed in the south of England.

J has not been able to spend Christmas with his family for more than two years; and his youngest child is just four years old. J would love to be his family this year as they are finally all in the same country again. The problem is that he does not have the money he needs to travel to see them or for subsistence while he is away from Lancaster over the festive season. Asylum seekers are given just a very small allowance per week to live on.

We are aiming to raise £300 to enable this family to be reunited for Christmas and enjoy meals and spend time together again.
