As you may know, a dear friend of ours has recently gone through a truly difficult experience after her 3 year old was kept in another country without her consent.

As dramatic as the whole thing has been, the most important thing is that our wonderful little friend is finally back - and safe. And this is what really matters.

However she's now facing all the legal bills, which are over £8,500, a money that unfortunately she does not have.

Here is an opportunity for us all, her village, from near and far, to step in, in a very practical way, and support them.

Please donate whatever you're able to. Little or a lot, this is about helping out in a symbolic way; a way that will reduce her worries, and give her some positive energy to process this absolutely crazy experience.

Thanks. For all that you can offer.
