Iʼve raised £200 to Help the homeless in Madrid!
- Madrid, Spain
- Funded on Wednesday, 27th September 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
As Norwegian crew we live a pretty privileged life here in Madrid. It's a great city with so much going for it but it does seem to have a large homeless population that struggle! I'd like to get together with whoever is available at the time, to put together some parcels and distribute them to the more vulnerable people in Madrid.
I want to start off really small, just creating a few food parcels - sandwiches, fruit, chocolate bar and water - and see if we can help just a few people. Then if people are interested and it goes down well, we could expand to cooked meals, essential toiletries, protective clothing or whatever might help at the time.
As our schedules are all mixed and extremely busy, I know we won't be able to have a fixed time each week. But if you want to support in person anytime, to help prepare or distribute, by donating food, money or cooking skills, everything would be appreciated!
I'll post updates on here and to you personally, if you express an interest regarding what days and times we'll be heading out. I'll also post receipts of purchases to show complete transparency. I'll also post pictures of what we create, and if they're happy, pictures of some of the people we help, so you can see the direct impact your love and support is having!

7 years agoSorry for the delayed update guys. Kaylen came to visit for 8 days and we were out and about a lot!! Then two other friends came the day after, one of which likes Madrid so much, he's decided to stay until Oct 3rd :-) Me and Kaylen did manage to get out for a small distribution though, that was actually really successful, only 10 parcels, but we gave mainly to the people hustling for a living, rather than the ones drinking etc. including the micky mouse etc in Sol, they were all very happy!!! The see through bags are a win, good work Guarda :-)

Passionate to give back to the community in which I reside in any small way possible. Also fundraising is a great way to bring people together with a common goal and can be great fun and really rewarding!
