City of God Appeal - Day 13

Latest word from MadPriest at OCICBW:
Day 13 - But not unlucky for those City of God kids.

Our new total is:
$4860.76

Which is not bad.

So, now, let's get it up to $5000. To do this, all we need is 15 ten dollar (£5.00) PayPal donations. Now, there must be 15 people out there who have foolishly thought that as they could only afford to donate $10 that it just wasn't worth while going to the trouble of getting their debit/credit cards out. You are SO WRONG! Every penny and every cent will make a difference. Go back to the original post and have a look at those clothes those kids are wearing and work out how little it is going to cost to give them a bit of pride and self-esteem. With a bit of pride and self-esteem there's a better chance they won't get caught up in the drug and gun culture that their neighbourhood is renowned for. Yes, I know, this is moral blackmail - but it is also the truth.

The OCICBW... Community Christmas Appeal this year is raising money to help pay for the work being done by the Anglican Church of Christ the King in the City Of God district of Rio De Janeiro. Full details about the project and how to send your gifts can be found HERE.
W00t!
Let's more than double it by Twelth Night, gang! You can DONATE by clicking on either of the links above.
