I just want to say I’m genuinely blown away by the amount of support and messages I’ve had since posting yesterday about helping people in need here in Lanzarote over Christmas. To be honest, I had no intention of setting up anything like a GoFundMe. I was more than happy to quietly cover meals myself and leave it at that. But with so many people, especially in Ireland and the UK, getting onto me saying they wanted to help, it got me thinking that with the following I have here, we could actually do something big together. Because of that, I’m now going to set up a GoFundMe with a target of €5,000. Every cent raised will be used to buy food and essential items for people who are struggling here on the island. No cash will be given to individuals. It will all go on food and essentials, made up into hampers and or donated through local charities and community groups who support people in need in Lanzarote.
Just to be absolutely clear, anyone who needs a meal over Christmas will be covered by me personally, but they do need to get in touch with me beforehand so I can organise it properly. That part is on me.
Below is the GoFundMe link it anybody wants to help. If anyone locally can help with putting hampers together or helping with deliveries, feel free to message me.
Thanks again for the support and the messages. It genuinely means a lot. For transparency, I’ll post updates and receipts here showing exactly what the money is spent on. Bar 67 - Lanzarote
