A Dramatic Response to A Dramatic Appeal

A COMMUNITY OF FRIENDS AND FEET WASHERS

Thank You to everyone who has been touched to donate after reading Fr. Bernardino’s appeal in the newsletter two weeks ago. You have all been helping to make a difference in someone’s life right now. Thank you! «People Helping People» has received a dramatic response from many people who have donated. Father Bernardino decided to call this group of people who have been sending in donations to help the poor, the «Community of Feet Washers». He has been making a list with all your names to put on the little altar where he says his daily Mass at home with his niece.
In today’s newsletter you will see the complete list of everyone who has sent in a donation, either by bank transfer or through PayPal. Yes! People Helping People has a PayPal account now! There are also another two options for those who struggle with making bank transfers to Madeira. (More info on these options are explained on the next page).

The «Community of Feet Washers»:

Below is the complete list of people who have donated to People Helping People and made it possible help the needy families with food, medication and also part of rent payments (after job losses). To respect confidentiality of those of you who have donated, we are using only the first names and the initial letter of the surname of the donors. If you sent a donation and don’t see your name on the list below, please let us know by emailing penhafranca.newsletter@gmail.com.

All the names below are of donations received through bank transfer or PayPal, so if you don’t see your donation please do get in touch. This week we managed to track a donation after we were contacted for this reason, and we were able to find the “lost” transfer this way. 

    Father, may we wish you well with your appeal. We regularly view the Funchal Marina/Ritz webcams and this brings us some solace and hope that this outbreak will end in the foreseeable future. We miss Madeira and your Sunday Mass in particular.

    How good to see your appeal is being answered by so many others, as well as by our recent small donation on 12th/13th May.
    Our love to you all and we pray you stay safe.

    Hoping to see our small May 12/13th donation listed here eventually – assuming of course it gets to you ok? – before we risk sending future sums.
