“I don't want to go to my grave simply feeling sorry for my poor brothers and
sisters. I want to be able to help them in a practical
way."
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity; it is an act of justice. That I am able to support my family, I thank God. I would
like all my brothers & sisters to be able to similarly support their
families."
“Why did I remember CAFOD in my will? Because you reminded me!”
“I already give regularly but I feel that I can't take it with
me and CAFOD covers everything I
would like tobe involved in helping –
not only through prayer but in physical way.
God bless all your workers for they truly reflect the Gospel message.
Amen.”
“I wanted to leave something to help others and this seemed an
ideal way, also I wanted to support the work done by CAFOD for those who need it.
I am a Catholic and it is important to me to support a Catholic
charity working the third world.”
“I believe in your work and want aid to get
directly to those in need. Church structures provide
an effective framework avoiding intermediaries.”
"I want to support CAFOD's work to a greater degree than I can afford to during my lifetime."
"CAFOD works by empowering the disadvantaged and dispossessed to start to build their lives again."
“As a Catholic, the Lord teaches
me ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’.”
“As a human being and a Christian I feel called to participate in the work of caring for the poor
and the hungry; and in working for the
promotion of justice and peace.”
"My husband and I have worked hard
for what we have. We have been involved in
"charity" work for the greater part of our marriage and wish for it to continue after our deaths.
We know what monies we may have to leave will not
be wasted"
