by Mustard Seed Jersey to Letters to the Editor, Jersey Evening Post:
Dear Sir
On behalf of Mustard
Seed Jersey, Nelu and Cristina Radu
of Fundatia Increderea and
the community known as the Factory Families living on the Bors
road outside Oradea, Romania, may I say a huge THANK YOU to all the people who
assisted with our appeal for money to buy wellington boots.
Thanks to the generous
and compassionate response of the public I am happy to tell you that all those
in sandals and summer-weight shoes in the snow in that community have now been
given waterproof boots or shoes and 2 pairs of warm socks, purchased in
Romania.
Members of the public
and groups contributed approximately £2000 within ten days after we appealed
for help for people in sandals in the snow and ice.
It has become obvious
that we can obtain better value and better quality wellington boots in Jersey,
so we have retained some of the money to purchase wellington boots and warm
socks which we will send over to Romania on the Mustard Seed Jersey aid lorry
so that we can assist the community not just immediately now but for the next
winter as well.
May I
thank the media for their great support in letting the public know
about the week long appeal. To every person and group
who donated please accept the very real gratitude of all the community who now
have warm dry feet thanks to your generosity.
Yours truly
Rose Helie
