Get Well Mel

Most of you would have already received this appeal. But in case you haven't, please read and extend any help you can.

Thanks Selwyn and Ivan for taking this initiative.

APPEAL ON BEHALF OF MELVILLE AND HIS FAMILY

Our friend from Marinagar, Melville Pinheiro (Noblix/Khada) got badly burnt while at work in a garment factory. This happened in early February 2010. He suffered about 30% burns and continues to be in hospital. Besides, he will have to make frequent visits to the hospital for about a year, for treatment.

While we are grateful to the almighty for having saved him miraculously, the reality is that he will be out of a job initially and will have to incur recurring hospital expenses over and above the expenses already incurred. We must also remember that he has three school/college going children to take care of, the last being in the 4th Standard.
As a simple token of our solidarity towards our Marinagar chappie who would come and stitch our colony Christmas star at the last minute, we are attempting a cash collection drive. Our intention is to collect at least Rs. 2 lakhs. As a well-wisher of Melville, we appeal to your generosity. Contributions of Rs. 5,000/- and above will be greatly appreciated.

Kindly send the amount either to Selwyn Paul or Ivan (Putta) Rodrigues.

Selwyn Paul's mobile No. 9967722238
email address : selu1960@yahoo.com.au

Ivan Rodrigues : mobile No. 9821234620
email address : ivanrodrigues777@yahoo.com

On behalf of Melville and his family, we wish to thank you in advance for your generosity. More importantly, we seek your continued prayers for Melville.
Wishing each of you and your families a blessed Holy Week and a joyous Easter.
Thanks.
