Thank you for helping change the lives of children with disabilities
After three exciting weeks, this year’s SEU campaign has now
come to a close.
Thanks to all of your generous support and a donation just
after the campaign ended - we have successfully reached our stretched target of
$60,000.
This money will change lives and allow children with
disabilities to be educated in the heart of their community with all the love, care and attention they deserve.
Our first target of $35,000 will help Lumos to furnish our
Special Education Unit (SEU) in Ialoveni, Moldova with the specialised equipment that the
children require to go to school.
The $25,000 raised from our stretch goal will help us fund a specially
adapted bus for the students.
Every cent will enable children with disabilities to live at home
and travel to their local school every day - where they can be educated with the rest of the
peers.
This may seem simple, but for some children this will be the very first
time that they will be included
in mainstream education and able to live at home.
Due to all of your generosity we reached our target with 12 days spare and are blown away by your support. This $35,000 will help furnish our Special Education Unit with the specialised equipment required for the children to study at school.
We have now stretched our goal to $60,000 with the extra funds helping to purchase a specialised transport bus to help children with disabilities go to school.
We still have some fantastic perks available and a contribution of any amount will allow you to enter our Referral Contest.
The individual who refers the most unique contributors to our campaign will win a Boxed Set of Harry Potter novels signed by Daniel Radcliffe and a Thank You Tweet from @Lumos that will be seen by all of our important followers, details on how to get involved are below.
