Following the shocking explosion last week in Beirut, Lebanon, Goods For Good have been working to help support our partners on the ground deliver urgent medical aid. We need your help to make this happen and support these vulnerable people who have lost everything in a second.

I love this special time of year. It’s magical.  I love the twinkling Christmas lights and the sparkle in the stores. Whether we are celebrating Christmas or Chanukah; it’s a time when families and friends get together, whatever their religion.  A time when people gifts to one and other.  A time to step back and relax from the 363 “normal days” of the year.

A visit to Thessaloniki usually conjures up sunshine, blue skies, beaches, sun-tan lotion and all-inclusive summer holidays. My visit to Greece on the 8^th January was totally far removed from that.

Our aim is to send a truck full of sanitary products to help restore a little dignity to women in need, but we can’t do this without your help.

41-year old Alena was a well-to-do, middle class woman from Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine. She had a large home and a good income. She was single and wanted to share her life with someone else, so decided to adopt. In 2012, Darina entered Alena’s life, aged 3. Darina had special needs, she was ill and developmentally young for her age.

We are very excited, and even more grateful, to have hit the £10million milestone since our inception just over three years ago.

I have just returned from ten days visiting the camps outside Erbil, fifty miles from Mosul, in Kurdistan. I left high school in London this summer, and wanted to do something to help.
