Support Peninah!
As a community we come together to support our members in need. Peninah is a wonderful community member in Graz who gives so much to so many. Her sister was hit by a car in Kenya and is now fighting for her life. Peninah and her family are unable to pay the hospital bills so we are reaching out to our community to ask for some help. If everyone we know puts in just 10€ it will make a difference. For more info please read her story on the GOFund me platform.
