For Maddalena (pictured, second from left), a day of volunteering to help people in need ended up in a trip to hospital.
One of our most dedicated and enthusiastic supporters, Maddalena broke her hip while setting up an awareness board for MAP at her local church. She has been incredibly active these past few months going to every church in her area to hand out leaflets, linking up with her local Amnesty group to organise a concert, bible readings, silent vigils and much more.
While setting up an information board for MAP at a one of her local churches she tripped over a step and fell. It took the ambulance an hour to arrive, and she was admitted to hospital and underwent surgery for several fractures.
Maddalena contacted us from her hospital bed earlier this week requesting further materials to continue her work once she is discharged from the hospital. Additionally, she requested all her friends to donate to MAP instead of bringing any gifts.
It is the dedication and commitment of supporters, like Maddalena, that make MAP the work we do possible! We cannot thank Maddalena enough.
Please join us and send a message of support. Let’s lift her spirits by continuing her work to raise funds for Palestinians in need and wishing her a speedy recovery!
