United for Uyghurs
What can one person do? When you learn about tragedies and trials across the world, this is
a question which runs through all our minds right? However, if there is something we can
learn from Mesut Ozil’s single Instagram post last week is, the stand of one person can have
an impact.
This January I am seeking to travel to Istanbul and meet the Uyghur refugee community. I
cannot stop their persecution in their homeland, but I can try and help them once they
escape. I cannot bring peace to their situation but can remove the fear of hunger and
helplessness from their lives.
I am fundraising to free 10 families from food poverty, the need to beg and the inability to
feed themselves. I am hoping over the next few weeks you can help me do this. Let us all
give thanks over the coming month, and make some time to do something really good
and help those that are in need.
