Hi there friend!

First of all, thank you taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am running ten 10K races to raise money for Crisis. That is right, I am going to put myself through 10 times more trouble than before and hopefully complete 100km in timed runs!

For the last two years, I have volunteered for Crisis at Christmas in one of their Day Centres where I met amazing guests and volunteers. What shocked me is seeing that from one year to the other, there were more guests accessing their services. It hurts to know that more and more people are going through homelessness in London, one of the richest cities in the world.

Talking to guests, I heard of the impact of not having a secure home can have in our mental wellbeing. It is a condition of constant anxiety and isolation, not forgetting its extremely negative physical and social effects. My family was once close to being homeless and the weeks of uncertainty were hell, but I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like to sleep in the streets, exposed and unsafe.

The Crisis team has years of experience and for this reason, I want to raise money to help ensure they can continue supporting homeless people with housing, employment and health issues so everyone can find place to call their own. If you want to find out more, visit https://www.crisis.org.uk/.

I hope you can donate but I also hope I have started a conversation. We can work together to ensure homelessness is a thing of the past! If you want to talk more about it, let me know.

With love, 
Nabila
