I’m sure that you, like me, were absolutely devastated when you woke up on that fateful Wednesday morning to see this horrifying situation playing out on your social media feeds and television screens. It looks like a scene from a disaster movie doesn’t it? But as we know only too well this is real, very real. The hows, whys and wherefores will be ongoing for many months, even years and there will be the usual inquiries and reports and then in the end, after the frustrations and the anger have long since died there will be “findings and recommendations”.
As I write there are 78 people confirmed dead but this may yet rise quite significantly. Many lives have and will be affected by this needless tragedy for years to come and what the survivors, their friends, relatives and the community need now is help and lots of it. That morning I felt I wanted to help somehow but how? My first thought was to jump on a train and get down there but to do what? I’ve no idea. And judging by what we can see on the TV there’s already great work being done by volunteers turning up in their droves.
So what can I do? What is needed is aid NOW!
This is why I’ve set up this Just Giving page. Please join me and give generously, these people need our help NOW!
I’ve set a modest target of £10,000 which would be fantastic to get anywhere near but with your help we could smash it!
Please forward this page to anyone you feel will be willing to help help
Thanks for listening
Nigel
