Mariam in the doorway to her shelter in the refugee camp
Dear John,
For us Catholics, Advent is a time for us to share our love and warmth with our neighbours overcoming poverty and injustice.
With only a week left until the joy of Christmas, we are reminded as always to think of those facing hardship and poverty. You can help a refugee like Mariam keep her family warm and safe from the bitter cold of the Lebanese winter.
Your donation means that our local experts can work alongside communities like Mariam's. This helps every family to thrive, no matter what challenges they are overcoming. As Pope Leo said during a hospital visit on his recent trip to Lebanon:
"We cannot forget those who are most fragile. We cannot conceive of a society that races ahead at full speed clinging to the false myths of wellbeing, while at the same time ignoring so many situations of poverty and vulnerability."
Don't wait this Advent - your donation will be so vital to families facing the harshest conditions.
Thank you so much,
The CAFOD team
