Our Story. In lieu of wedding gifts we ask that you support the great work of Freedom from Torture. They provide specialized care and support to people who have been tortured.

We both work in our own way to deliver medical care to those in need; Golda through her GP work in the impoverished neighborhoods of East End London and Marc through his work with Médecins sans Frontières (aka Doctors without Borders). We've chosen Freedom from Torture because they provide both direct services to torture survivors and they raise their voice against the injustice of torture itself.

Here’s more:

Freedom from Torture (formerly the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture), has been working for 25 years to provide direct clinical services to survivors of torture who arrive in the UK as well as striving to protect and promote their rights.

The unique care and support they provide is enormously important in helping torture survivors recover. So is the knowledge that there are people like you, who want to support them. Every donation that they receive not only helps to provide essential care, but also sends a vital message of hope to every torture survivor.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Of course, if you prefer not to give through this website, you can also donate by going directly to the website of Freedom from Torture.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
