Here's a simple idea for a simple fundraiser that will make a world of difference to senior citizens in Buyé Diocese.
Edmonton Diocese invites you and your parish to hold an after-service coffee hour one Sunday in September. You probably do that anyway, right? If parishioners can donate $5 on that day, the diocese will use the money to support an amazing medical initiative in Buyé. Our partners there in the Buyé Mothers' Union are working to provide seniors with a card that gives them 80% coverage of medical expenses for a year. It only costs $5 but is out of reach for most seniors, who have worked at hard physical labour most of their lives, and now don't even have a pension.
See the attached poster for details or contact the Rev. Rebecca Harris or the Rev. Danielle Lepine.
