Story
Hi my name is Chris, thanks for taking the time to read this.
In 2018 I was able to fulfil my passion, I had the opportunity of a life time to visit Syria on a humanitarian mission with a French organisation called SOS Chrétiens d'Orient.
During the war in Syria Maaloula was occupied by various terrorist organisations and as a result homes and places of worship were destroyed.
Since the liberation of the village by the Syrian Army many people have returned to the village
However, due to catastrophic sanctions placed on Syria the people are struggling with basic needs most importantly medical care.
Currently one doctor and one dentist are providing care for the entire community. These professionals are so committed that the doctor transports any patient requiring urgent care to the hospital in Damascus personally. The fee for the consultation is a mere 4 pence.
In the past I have raised funds via raffle sales to the amount of £1,000. I also give personally on a monthly basis. Soon the current funding will end and the people will be left with no medical care. I am trying to raise enough funds to help keep medical care on going for a further six months. Please help me by donating to this cause. Medic for Maaloula.
Thank you very much.
Christopher.

2 years agoThank you all for donating to my project.. I have recently done a zip slide from the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle as a part of this fundraising project. It was terrifying but it was amazing. Again a big thank you. The village Maaloula can now have a doctor stationed there for 1 year with the money raised. I will post an update from the doctor soon.
