Crowdfunding for Seafarers – our ocean heroes

Posted on: 28 May 2020

The Mission to Seafarers, a charity dedicated to supporting seafarers throughout the world, has partnered with Wilhelmsen Ship Management, to raise funds for the Mission’s Samaritan’s Fund, which will help provide support where it is most needed, often in life-changing situations. Donate HERE.

During these hugely turbulent times, seafarers continue to transport more than 90% of the world’s goods and are continuing to provide us with the food on our shelves, the fuel in our cars and the medical equipment needed on the front line.

Within the UK, originally here for training, 94 Indian cadets couldn’t complete their studies and require support in registering with the High Commission for repatriation, as well as food vouchers and safe accommodation.

Around the world, right now, the Mission’s Chaplain in Tuticorin, India, is taking food on a weekly basis to families who are hungry and unable to buy food. With seafarers unable to join ships easily because of the crew change difficulties, their breadwinner is no longer unable to provide and support them.

In the Philippines, we provide a minibus to transfer seafarers from their dormitories to their homes, after mandatory quarantine, due to strict lockdown in Manila, allowing seafarers who are Covid-free to return to their loved ones, as well as essential supplies of food and water.

Aside from these cases, there are thousands of seafarers need our support daily, all around the world, and this campaign will ensure seafarers and their families can be supported, and reunited with their loved ones during these desperate times.

Funds donated via this site will support these cases, others like these and COVID-19 related requests for support from seafarers and their families.
