THANKS FOR YOUR DONATION
Hi Eric John,
We just wanted to say that we’ve received your donation of £3000.00 to our Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
Your gift will allow us to keep supporting people caught up in this crisis, and help those affected get food, clean water, shelter, medicines and basic medical supplies.
Situations like this are extremely challenging. But support like this, from you, is a reminder of the kindness and generosity that there is in the world.
Thank you again.
The emergency appeal team,
British Red Cross
