    Weʼve raised £867 to Get Joal back home to Venezuela

    Story

    This is Joal and he’s from Venezuela. He came here travelling but had his passport and other documents stolen whilst he was asleep in the airport waiting to go home. When he reported it to the police he was advised they couldn’t help him and he would need to travel to London to his consulate and ask for help to get him home. He didn’t have enough money to travel to London and has been left here on the streets for months with no help from anyone. He is not a begging man, he just needs a little help. If all of you chip in just a little we can help get him on his way. It doesnt take much to get to London, so anything would help.

    If you can’t donate then share, lets help JOAL get back home to his family.

    He sleeps rough in Haymarket area and usually sits in the same place every day!

    Find him, help him and let’s get him home!

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
