Today I got this email from the International Refugee Trust:
Thanks to all who sponsored me. If you would still like to support the work of the International Refugee Trust and the Comboni Sisters in Syria you can follow this link:

Dear Mr McCarthy,
Your sponsorship currently stands at around £1253.75, including the offline donation and Gift Aid, and there may be more to come as the page is open for donations until September. This is a fantastic amount and the hospital at Karak will be so grateful for this wonderful donation, which means they will be able to treat more refugees.
We recently received a heartrending letter from Sr. Fumagalli at the hospital in Karak. Here are some of her words:
“The protracted nature of the Syrian crisis is still an urgent priority while the international responses are diminishing. At the moment the refugees find shelter wherever they can. It has been reported that families are living in rooms with no heat or running water, in abandoned chicken coops and storage sheds. Most refugees must find a way to pay rent, even for derelict structures. Without any legal way to work in Jordan, they struggle to find odd jobs.
The lack of clean water and sanitation in crowded settlements is an urgent concern. Diseases can spread easily.
The Italian hospital has continued to offer, with a greater effort, services and help. But now due to the crisis and the lack of responses from former donors we have found it very difficult to cover the gap. We like to express again our deepest gratitude to all the IRT donors on behalf of these patients assisted under the IRT funds project.”
It is wonderful for a small charity like ourselves when our supporters fundraise for us, usually in such interesting ways, as it is very inspirational and shows such commitment, which also helps us a lot with some of our other funders like charitable foundations.
Once again, from everyone at IRT, and the Sisters, lay workers and patients at the hospital in Karak, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done to raise this wonderful sum of money.
With our warmest wishes,
Tracey
