An amazing initiative by Helen Fahy FIHI. Check out her reel on Instagram: https://lnkd.in/dKHEmzP2 Bringing her beautiful story below: "Today is a RED LETTER DAY for me😁 On this day in July 2017, I received a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, closely followed on the 22nd July 2018 with a diagnosis of Neuroendrocrine Cancer. The past few years have been interesting, to say the least😅 I have received many medical interventions over these years in terms of protocols, surgeries and palliative care both here and in Ireland and in the UK. Both conditions have had their challenges and navigating their impacts on my physical, mental and emotional wellbeing has been something I have had to embrace, whether I have wanted to or not! I am now in full EMBRACE mode😉 I am incredibly fortunate to have THE most amazing family, friends, and support networks who have helped me shoulder the many speed wobbles as they have arisen over the past 7 years. The community of people who have banded around me has been nothing short of miraculous. There is not a day that goes by where a member of #teamhelsbels doesn’t help me in some way. I feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to be supported by such a wonderful community of kind, generous and loving folk🥰 And so, it is with this blessing in mind that I have reached out to the #igulufoundation in Uganda to see how I might pay my blessings forward. I am travelling to Uganda in September 2024 to spend a month with the Igulu community in Bugagali to volunteer in whatever way they feel would best benefit their needs. And I’m asking for your help please🙏🏻. I have set up a GoFundMe page (link in bio) to fundraise for the foundation’s Solar Panel project and to help me cover my travel expenses. It is my intention to pay my way in as best a way as I can. In the interest of transparency my costs include Flights, Visa, Insurance, Transfers, Accommodation and Vaccinations. I am immensely grateful to you for whatever help you can give. The Igulu Foundation and their community of women and children will be the recipients of your kind generosity. One last favour please. Can I ask if you could share this post / fundraiser with your friends and family? Guys, THANK YOU for all your help❤️🙏🏻❤️. Grá Mór agus Solas H❤️🙏🏻❤️" Link to donate: https://gofund.me/7e4f4bdd
