Story

I’m humphrey and half way through this 33 day challenge I will be 10 years old! I raised £1300 last year and was always going to raise more, but things changed we couldn’t all play football together, but now i can do something.... please help me, help the children around the world who are not as fortunate as us....we might not have felt that fortunate recently but I just keep thinking about how these children must be feeling. Sad, lonely and scared....they didn’t  have online school lessons, clubs to return to, teachers who are excited to see them back at school...,,please donate whatever you can I know it’s financially hard for everyone right now but anything is better than what they have.

My plan is everyday to do something to raise money for example....do chores at home, help other people to do things around their house or outside or just be someone to talk to, sell my old chelsea kits, do a guess the amount of sweets in a jar, guess the name of a teddy and sell some cakes. I am going to do this for 33 days!!! ( I have more ideas and need some more too!)   Of course any donations would be gratefully received.

Children around the world have their lives disrupted every day by violence, hunger, disease, conflict and disaster. Now, coronavirus has led to the biggest global crisis for vulnerable children and families since the Second World War. A whole generation of children are in danger.I'm taking on the Great Big Soccer Aid Challenge to help vulnerable children and families stay safe, so they can grow up happy, healthy & able to play. Plus anything you donate will be tripled at no extra cost to you, thanks to the UK Government and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, who are matching donations up until 6th October 2020.

Thank you for reading
