Story
The eviction order of the Jungle in Calais is going ahead. It includes most of the shelters where women and children live. Liz, a very dedicated ex fire fighter currently caring for the children in the camp, needs a double decker. The bus will be refitted - a dormitory on the top deck and a living area downstairs for mothers and children. + a heating system. Cost: £9000
We reached this target but there are new urgent needs due to recent events : Fire extinguishers, sleeping bags etc. THANK YOU
