Heulwen Dickinson invites you to help celebrate her birthday as follows:
For my birthday this year, I’m asking for Donations to REFUGEE RELIEF YNYS Môn. I’ve chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope that you’ll consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal of £600.
I would like to thank everyone who took the time to send me their good wishes yesterday. It was a real pleasure to read your kind messages. A special thank you goes out to those of you who donated towards or shared my birthday fundraiser. The Well of Life project holds a very special place in my heart, and for anyone who may still wish to donate, the fundraiser will remain open until 16 November. All contributions will go towards the following project:
In the war-affected areas, hundreds of families depend on the land to survive… but the land is thirsty. 💔 Farmers now stand helpless before their dry fields — the old wells have run dry. Every season without water means lost crops and families losing their only source of income.
That’s why we started The Well of Life project — to create a new well that will bring water, hope, and new life. 🌱 With the water from this well, farmers will be able to irrigate their land, grow vegetables, and provide food for their families. Every drop of water will be a blessing… and every contribution, no matter how small, can change a family’s life.
Please join us in planting hope and watering the earth. ❤️ Together we can dig a well — and with it, grow a future!

We at RRYM recently received the following proposal from our team in Lebanon. Although the size of the project may at first glance appear rather daunting, it’s success would serve to help a great many people who have lived through unimaginable hardship. Will you stand with us and provide them with an opportunity to put the past behind them and rebuild their lives? Here’s what they have to say:
Life Giving Well for Irrigation and Drinking Water for a Farming Community in Desperate Need of Support.
Project: 120-Meter Well to Revive Agricultural Lands and Provide Free Drinking Water.
Overview: As part of the ongoing reconstruction of a rural area that has been ravaged by years of sustained and indiscriminate bombing, we aim to drill a 120-meter well to bring life back to the surrounding farmlands. This will enable farmers to irrigate their crops, restore agricultural activity, and support the revival of rural communities devastated by years of hardship. The project will directly benefit dozens of families whose livelihoods depend on farming.
Details: Depth: 120 meters Impact: Revives farmland, boosts the local economy, provides a sustainable irrigation source for a resilient community facing great challenges.
Added Value: A public cold-water dispenser will be installed on the main road, in the name of “Refugee Relief Ynys Mon”, as an ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) for all passers-by to drink from freely.
Long-Term Benefit:
Sustainable water source for agriculture.
Strengthens food security for multiple families striving for a better future.
Acts as a permanent charitable source of drinking water for the community.
Supports the Reconstruction of the local area by reviving agricultural productivity.
