Benevolent Request for the Vicente's
Hello Everyone, As leadership we want to bring an important benevolent request to your attention. As many of you have heard through our prayer chain Dinno Vicente’s Father has passed away from Covid, and his mother continues to be in the Covid ICU on a ventilator. This has caused an emotional toll and we encourage you to continue to lift the family up in prayer, but it has caused a large financial toll to the entire Vicente family as well. Once Dinno’s parents were sick enough and in need of hospitalization all the covid beds in the public hospitals were full and they were sent to a private hospital miles away from their home. Before any treatment was given, they were required to pay for x-rays, medicine, etc with cash up front. To this point the Vicente family has paid the hospital close to $100,000.00 Canadian. This would not include cost for cremation for Dinno’s Father, as well as more expenses for Dinno’s mother who is still in the ICU, those costs will easily be tens of thousands more. The family has begun to attempt to sell property they own in hopes of helping with these costs, but people aren’t really looking to buy property in the Philippines right now. As you can imagine this is a massive burden for the entire Vicente family, the loss of a loved one is hard enough without massive financial implications. As a leadership we want to send this letter to all of you letting you know of the need for benevolence for the Vicente family and to give you an opportunity to respond if you feel led. We would like to gather a love offering for the needs that the Vicente family have. If you are interested in giving towards this there will be a box set up in the church for cash and checks to be deposited. All donations will be non-receipted as they are a gift to the family. If you write a cheque, it must be made out to “Dinno Vicente” please do not write cheques out to the church. Please place any donations of cash and checks in the marked box in the lobby of the church by June 25th. Please prayerfully consider how God may be leading you in support of the Vicente Sincerely, Ben Matthews On behalf of the Taber EFC Leadership. |
