Donate funds to help people stranded in Idomeni:  gofund.me/2hu2768k

Surely it cant be real, can it? How could civilised countries let this happen, slam the door on thousands of families.  Have they learnt nothing from history?  Have we learnt nothing from history.. ?

My trip to Idomeni is pretty much planned, I am flying out on 20 April and returning on 29 April .. I  have hired a small car and will be staying just over the border in a Motel in Macedonia – working with Northern Lights Aid at least for the first 5 days.

As with Lesvos I am self funding – trickier this time as I am without a regular wage,having left my job in December.  However I have been doing some free lance work which has helped to fund this trip.

My husband Phil, he is very supportive and this is totally a joint effort.  I need the support of Phil and my kids, without it I am not sure how I could do it.

We raised over £4K to help the people travelling through Lesvos and .. wow .. it did so much good – an earlier blog details how all the money was spent. I am not sure I can raise quite so much this time – £4K is a massive amount – but anything is better than nothing.

I don’t know how to solve this humanitarian crisis, but I do know that when people work together with passion and a common goal they can do amazing things ..When they work against each other, like the EU/Turkey, they travel in circles, waste time, energy, money and put peoples lives and futures at risk. This cant go on .. Keep Hope ..  One Love X
