We Capuchins are astounded at the level of KINDNESS OF OUR SUPPORTERS, those who help us keep this lifeline for people in need going. We are simply overwhelmed by the goodness of people who despite the years of austerity, have continued to support us financially. Apart from the financial contributions, particularly at Christmas, the walls are ‘Bulging’ with the generosity of people providing practical gifts of food, clothing and toys for the children. May God reward you all for your kindness.
