A SPECIAL APPEAL TO HELP A FELLOW GOAN
Dear Friends
At the request of his sorrowful wife and children, we repatriated the body of Jeronimo Sapeco back to Goa last week. Sadly, it was a tragic death and we are praying that members of the our Goan Community, particularly from his home village of Santa Cruz, will help us to raise funds to defray the cost of the repatriation.
Our objective is to raise £2,175.00 and, to date, the Goans from Wembley & Swindon have raised £1,700.00. We are working with the Goan Chaplaincy London, and fellow villagers from Santa Cruz, to raise the necessary funds to reach the target.
As with our previous appeals, we are hoping for a generous response from the Goan Community at large and, If you feel inclined to help, then please send your donations by cheque to the above address made payable to the Goan Welfare Society UK. If you are a taxpayer, please endorse your cheque on the back “gift aid” and give us your address.
Cash & cheque donations may be handed to any Trustee of the Goan Welfare Society (Flavio Gracias, Paul De Mendonca, Norma Menezes-Rahim, Alfred Rebello & Rosy De Souza) or to Fr Patrick De Souza, the Goan Chaplain in London.You can now make donations via “PayPal” through our website: www.goanwelfaresocietyuk.com.
