Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of this community, the Christmas spirit has arrived in February here on the island for Don Feliberto. Hopefully his memories of being alone and in the dark on December 25, 2017 will be eased by these new memories of love and support from people who really do care. None of this could have been possible without you.
I’m so proud to report that pictured above are the gifts that started arriving on Thursday and Friday, the first of so many more to come. Community members have sent desperately needed care packages filled with food and clothes, and there have been 56 items already ordered from the Amazon Wish List we created for Don Feliberto. I still can’t believe your response and I can only imagine his reaction when we arrive tomorrow. It really will be like Christmas for him and I can’t thank you enough.
As I mentioned in my last post for Don Feliberto, our next goal is a new refrigerator and gas stove so that he can finally be able to keep food cold and cook for himself. This will be a huge step forward for him as you can imagine, it’s been almost 5 months since he’s had any trace of a normal life. We’ve set a fundraising target of $600 and I just know we can pull together to make this happen.
The PayPal for this continuing effort is NewpioneerPR at yahoo dot com, and here’s the link for Don Feliberto’s Wish List. You really are making wishes come true.
Thanks from the heart for this community’s effort to make a difference in one man’s life. You’ve let Don Feliberto know beyond any doubt that he’s no longer forgotten or abandoned. I can only hope you know what this means to all of us here.
