Story

I am raising money for my school charity, Hope and Homes for Children, by doing a huge 2-day trek in the Swiss Alps. I am doing it with Daddy and we will be walking for about 6 hours each day. All of it will be high altitude and will be climbing some massive mountains. One is nearly 2,800 metres high. We will be camping over night in the woods and it will be my first time camping! Then we will set off the next day for our second part of our trek.

I am writing to ask if you would like to sponsor me on my trek so that I can give money to Hope and Homes for Children. They are a charity that is wanting to reduce the number of children in orphanages across the world. They are doing this by finding foster care and people that want to adopt them. They are also helping parents who have children in orphanages by giving them help so they can have them back home again. The charity is giving the money the school raises to help Ukrainian children and families. This is the link to tell you more about Hope and Homes for Children: www.hopeandhomes.org

5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.
