Story
We are 3 busy Mums who have watched too much news, and just want to do whatever we can to help…. (Gabi has just decided to join us- welcome Gabi! Many hands etc)
We decided to step out of our lives for a week and head to Przemysl Humanitarian Aid Centre. It is on the border of Ukraine and welcomes many displaced people to Poland; we will be working in the warehouse, organising and distributing aid.
We are raising money to fund the transport and accommodation costs and whatever is left we will use to purchase items that are needed onsite; as we are hiring a car we envisage spending a lot on fuel to taxi refugees around. We are flying to Krakow on 1/4/22, returning on the 8/4/22
Any donation is great appreciated and all receipts will be accounted for.

3 years agoI can't believe everyone's generosity. WE are thrilled to be able to go out there and take lots of love and solidarity from Mid Wales. Personally I haven't packed yet (we go tonight!) and I still have million things to do. I am going to miss the kids so much! The children understand though that if they were displaced, they would want someone to take time out of their life help them on their journey.... so onwards we go. This trip is so important- I hope we can make you all proud of us. Thanks so much for your amazing support! xxx
