Story

[Português]

Durante este ano, vou viajar pela Europa e angariar fundos para a “Please Take Me There” (Projeto Amélia), uma organização que tem como missão fornecer transporte gratuito para crianças gravemente doentes e suas famílias, ajudando-os a ter acesso aos cuidados de saúde que precisam.

Doar através do JustGiving é simples, rápido e totalmente seguro. Depois fazer a sua contribuição, o dinheiro é enviado diretamente para a “Please Take Me There”.

Vão ajudar-me a atingir o objectivo? :)

SOBRE O PROJETO AMÉLIA (PLEASE TAKE ME THERE)

A Please Take Me There ajuda famílias que lutam contra doenças graves. Muitas famílias vivem a dias de distância do hospital mais próximo e não têm meios financeiros para pagar as viagens. Com o seu apoio, oferecemos transporte gratuito a estas crianças e famílias, permitindo-lhes acesso a cuidados de saúde e dando-lhes esperança de cura.

Adicionalmente, ajudamos crianças e adultos em estados avançados de doença a viajar para o local dos seus sonhos ou para visitar família residente no estrangeiro. Desta forma estamos a contribuir para a criar momentos e memórias importantes para estas pessoas, independentemente do que o futuro lhes traga.

Ao transportar pessoas vulneráveis para hospitais, para o local dos seus sonhos ou para junto de família, a Please Take Me There oferece esperança, acesso a tratamentos, e momentos inesquecíveis a crianças e adultos carenciados.

[English]

This year, I will be travelling around Europe and fundraising for “Please Take Me There”, an organization that is on a mission to provide free transport for seriously ill children and their families, helping them access the lifesaving healthcare they need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to “Please Take Me There”.

Will you help me reach my goal? :)

ABOUT PLEASE TAKE ME THERE

Thanks to the brilliant efforts of modern medicine, there are lots of treatment options available to help people with life-threatening illnesses. But what if they can’t get to those treatments?
What if the hours of travel and overnight stays associated with endless check-ups, consultations, and surgeries are just too much on a low income – like a lot of the families we work with in the UK. What if there’s only one hospital in the whole country that offers the support they need, but they can’t afford the two-day bus and boat journey to get there – like many of the people we work with in Myanmar. Or what if someone lives in such a remote area that there isn’t any public transport at all, and a nine-hour walk is too far for a young child battling cancer – like some of the children we support in Ghana.

This is the reality for many of the 1 billion people across the world who live without access to basic transport, either because they can’t afford it or because it’s not available to them. And it means that too often people who are seriously ill are forced to give up on lifesaving medical treatment, simply because the journey is too hard or too expensive.

That’s why we’re working to help them access the transport they need to take them there.
