Time For Joy Christmas Appeal
Christmas for most people is a time for peace, joy and hope but for women seeking asylum there is no break from their daily worries.
The majority of the women in our network are living in temporary accommodation like hotels and receive just £8.24 a week for essentials, leaving little money to buy presents at Christmas.
“For me it is a time of loneliness and isolation. It can be hard to adjust and fully experience the joy of the season”
To combat this we want to give the women in our network #TimeForJoy
But we need your support.
To make Christmas special for the women and children in our network we need to raise £5,000.
This will provide a gift for everyone, food vouchers and a Christmas party so everyone in our network has #TimeForJoy
You can help us in a number of ways:
Make a donation direct to our appeal
Run your own fundraiser to collect donations or gifts
Buy something for the women from our Amazon gift list
Help spread the word
Whatever you can do to bring joy to our network will make a difference but here are just some ways you can make an impact:
£15 will buy a gift for a child in our network
£25 will buy a gift for one woman to support their wellbeing
£50 will give two families food vouchers for over the Christmas period
£100 will provide bus fares for 20 women to attend our Christmas party
“Christmas is a very bad time for us because we live in fear of detention and deportation. I will appreciate any donation that is give to me and my children. They will be happy like other children at Christmas”
Thank you, you are amazing!
