October at BYSOL: 15 fundraisers closed

October was a busy month. We received 26 new fundraising requests and saw 15 campaigns through to the end — together, you raised €32,686. Behind each of these numbers are real people and real stories, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who responded.

Supporting political prisoners remains a core part of our work. In October we received eight requests and paid out €8,000. For people behind bars and their families, this is more than money — it’s a sign that they haven’t been forgotten.

Our evacuation work continued too. We organised three straightforward departures and one complex one, and held nine consultations for people who are considering leaving or looking for a safe way out.

The hotline didn’t slow down either: 138 consultations over the month. 

Thank you for staying with us. None of this would be possible without your support — and in November, we carry on.
