FIREFLY HOPE PROJECT DISTRIBUTION

This month, Natalie from the Firefly Hope Project came and joined us for a distribution. She brought with her clothes, shoes, hygiene items and sweet treats – we distributed around 25 packages to everyone who needed one. The Firefly Hope Project have been joining us once or twice a year since we started Wave and it’s always great to know we can rely on their support!

NORTH MACEDINIA RAIL ACCIDENT

In July, one of our service users very sadly passed away after

a rail accident in North Macedonia. We have since been supporting his family in trying to bring him back home so that they can lay him to rest and set up a fundraiser to cover the costs. Desite needing 6,500EUR, by early August we had raised the whole amount thanks to over 150 generous donors. We thank all those who gave money and showed solidarity with Ismail and his family.
