Kathleen Palmer children’s home.

From: Rodney Beadon

Hi
I am appealing to you for your help to feed the children at the Children of the Kathleen Palmer children’s home. This is situated in Christon bank. My visit out there on Saturday was very sad the children have been going days without meals and the house mother has not been paid for six months. Her son is helping to work at the home and her sister is sending food out when she can.

It’s a sad story and fortunately the Rotary Club of Borrowdale Brooke will be helping with their long term needs. Immediately they are without lights and monthly food stuff. They have asked for candles but with young children there is always the risk of terrible burns and accidents. A suitable lighting system is available to them at the cost of US$1234.00, this will light the home and provide some kind of Security for them.

Below is there monthly groceries requirements. I can get price for those who want to send money rather than actual food stuff. All money donations can be sent to the Rotary Club of Borrowdale Brooke account. Details available on request.
