Help needed.... please

Emaus Children's Home is desperate for help.

The charity has had the funding cut for the orphanages from 70% to 40%.

They are now struggling to pay the utility bills. To ease the pressure the charity are now collecting anything to assist the day-to-day life of the children and babies and need items such as:

Toilet rolls
Soap powder
Softener
Shampoo
Conditioner
Soap
Applicator tampons
Shower gel
Tooth brushes
Tooth paste
Nappies
Baby milk formula

It does not matter if these are open packets of half used bottles - they will be grateful for anything.

Along with any other charitable donation possible.
Anything not used within the orphanage is sold to raise money.

OP Group Spain are using our offices in La Marina Urbanisation and La Finca Golf, Algorfa as collection points so please drop anything into us and we will make sure that it gets to the Children's Home.

Thank you in advance.

I cannot believe that a Childrens Home could be left bereft of money by the Spanish Government.Obviously I will be donating to this Home to help them,but whatever I give cannot possibly be anywhere near what these children need and deserve.I am sure that anyone reading this will also donate as much as they can afford.For the first time since i came over here five years ago,i can only say that i am disgusted with the government of Spain,To hurt the helpless is such a low cowardly thing to do.

It is true that their funding has been drastically cut. As of January Impact Charity members voted on supporting EMAUS Childrens home in Elche.
It is due to the continued public support, through purchasing goods in the shop, that we are able to keep doing this.
When we delivered the tumble dryer they were using 2 normal household dryers for 26 kids.
Committe members visit the home once or twice a month, sometimes more. If anyone would like further information regarding the children's home in Elche, please pop into the shop for one of our EMAUS leaflets.
If anyone would like to give a gift or donation to the children's home please bring these into the shop where they will be passed onto Annette or Dave (who have been fundraising for EMAUS Children's home in Elche, for the past 8 years).
