Dawn O’ Porter has taken to Twitter to rally support for the people of the Calais crisis and has gained a helping hand from none other than her Irish gal pal Amy Huberman.
Amy has been re-tweeting Dawn’s online shout outs for donations to gather support for the much needed cause #helpcalais.
Sanitary towels and tampons, bin bags, kids toys and books…stuff they need and stuff to make them smile. THANK YOU!

The vintage fashionista and writer has been deeply moved by the desperate situation of the Calais crisis and has taken to social media to rally support for for the cause.
We have a truck going out next week so get what you can to us as quick as you can. If there is more stuff, there will be another truck. — Dawn O’Porter (@hotpatooties) August 26, 2015
Dawn has reached out to her online followers to gather supplies such as tents, blankets, furniture and even women’s sanitary supplies:
Dear @Always Would you consider donating sanitary protection for the women who have nothing in Calais? You would be doing a WONDERFUL thing!
— Dawn O’Porter (@hotpatooties) August 26, 2015
How about empowering those women in Calais by helping them out with some @Tampax ? #likeagirl You would be our (Twitter’s) heroes!

Her good friend, the equally multi-faceted Amy Huberman, has been behind her 100% by getting her followers to also show support.
Winter is coming and this will be particularly cruel on the stricken refugees in Calais that are in the appalling living conditions. Many refugees have inadequate shelter or none at all and Dawn is doing her best to gather helpful resources and ship them over.
There are currently over 1,500 migrants camped in Calais in a vain attempt to reach the UK by crossing the Channel.
The charity based organisation Calais Migrant Solidarity has set up an appeal for supplies. They have been doing volunteer work with some of the hundreds of migrants on a daily basis and are constantly looking for people to help out.
VIP readers can pledge your support for the Calais crisis on their website: https://calaismigrantsolidarity.wordpress.com or Click here to donate.
We here at VIP towers we hope Dawn and Amy’s efforts hope to ease a fraction of the suffering. Fair play ladies!
