Summer Fundraiser
Our own ambulance is dying of old age!
Ancient & exhausted
Mam Jhen drives our elderly van, taking Mams Lora (behind) and Angelica (front) to a local police station to do welfare checks and deliver freshly-cooked food.
One of our most precious Philippine assets is our team van. Every day it gets pushed to its limit. It delivers food to hungry police detainees. It takes our staff & equipment to prisons & police stations to perform mobile medical clinics. And it transfers our patients (all detainees, ex-detainees and their dependents) between their homes, places of detention, our clinic and local hospitals.
It was old when we acquired it and now it's so ancient that the necessary spare parts are no longer made. When it last went sick in early May, it took us more than a month to bodge together a makeshift part. During that time, our outputs plummeted and our costs went through the roof. We desperately need to replace it.
Grateful
QR code to GoFundMe
Our local staff, and the thousands of patients we serve, will be so very grateful for every pound, dollar, euro and peso donated towards keeping us on the move.
You can of course donate via the GoFundMe platform. But a more cost effective option for us is to receive bank transfers direct into our UK or Philippine bank accounts with gifts marked 'van'. You might also wish to drop us an email with your contact details, so we can thank you and update you later. We need to raise £6,000-£10,000 and we'd like to raise more than half of this amount via direct donations.
Thanks so much for considering helping us! And please do contact us if you have a question about this fundraiser or if you’d like to offer to help with our fundraising efforts.
