Thankyou from Cafod for the share (£766.00) we sent from our Christmas Collection. “Thank you All Saints for donating to our Syria crisis appeal. The humanitarian situation in Syria remains catastrophic with 6.5 million people forced from their homes. A further 2.5 million have fled to neighbouring countries as refugees. Your generous donation has enabled us to deliver food, water and shelter to thousands of families in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey & Iraq. Your support is helping people like 13 year old Krist and his family who were forced from their home by an armed gang. Today, his family are safe in Lebanon but they have run out of money and are traumatised by what they have been through. Kirist’s mother, Siham, tell us; “Krist still has flashbacks. He won’t let anyone open the door and he’s afraid of the dark. He is too shy to express how he’s feeling.” Thanks to your donations, we are working with our partners, Caritas Lebanon, to ensure Kirst and his family have food and medical supplies. Crucially, we are also offering counselling to some of the most vulnerable refugees, helping them come to terms with what they’ve been through. On behalf of CAFOD’s family worldwide, thank you for making a difference.” 8. Justice & Peace Group Coffee and tinned fish collection for N.E. Asylum Seekers NEXT weekend. 9.
