Event Summary:


BAFA celebrated Black History Month on 12 October 2024 at the Atrium Health  Centre with another health awareness programme. 


The programme was organised by Heather  Husbands,  a healthcare professional, who also presented to the audience a session on testicular cancer.  The programme also included further sessions on diabetes, presented by Dr Aziza Karmali; a video guide to dementia and alzheimer's was shown. The programme concluded with a short video production from  Cianna Smiles.  


A local charity setup by Ms Hayley  King, catering for sickle cell suffers and their carers.  Ms King highlighted to the audience the importance of being blood donors due to the blood supply shortage for sickle cell sufferers who might require a blood transfusion.  The audience felt that the programme sessions were very informative and that BAFA should continue to bring such things to the community.

Hello

Hi my name is Yvonne Thompson and I am fundraising for my Son Tharel who is currently in critical condition in hospital.

Tharel is a Barbados National who came over on holiday to the UK last week to spend time with family in Reading. In the early hours of Sunday 11 February 2024 whilst out with family Tharel was attacked in a bar and stabbed in the head. Tharel is in a critical condition in hospital following two surgeries.

so far his medical bill stands at £11,000 and is ongoing, I have flown over from Barbados and am incurring hotel costs daily and rising.

Any help would be so much appreciated and this is my last resort

I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe,  (DATED POSTED 15th MARCH 2023)
