TEULADA-MORAIRA LIONS were recently asked for help by the Men’s Refuge care home in Gandia.
The Refuge needed help to buy a replacement toaster and the Lions have assisted them in the past, as they are a local cause whose work the association admires.
They provide a home and nursing care for around 65 homeless men, many of whom suffer from mental or physical illnesses.
Some are terminally ill and these men would otherwise be on the streets and unlikely to survive without this special care.
During the pandemic the staff have completely locked down the centre and have had almost no contact with people outside the home.
Appliances wear out and this was the case with the Refuge toaster which is heavily used, particularly at breakfast time.
“We were asked to fund a replacement catering-standard toaster for them, which we readily did,” the Lions explained.
“The toaster was delivered to the Refuge and they sent us a photo, showing it set up for use.”
The €400 purchase was only made possible by the generosity of the Lions’ supporters.  As they have stated before, fundraising is difficult in these current times, but they were able to make this money available and will continue to do so for as long as they can.
“To help us in this endeavour, please pop into to the Lion’s Den charity shop, a couple of doors away from Letters R Us beneath the Pepa La Supermarket at the Centro Commercial, Moraira,” the Lions said.
There is a GoFundMe page for those who would like to support them but do not yet feel comfortable going into the shop.  This can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/f/teulada-moraira-lions or accessed via their website and  Facebook page.
Readers interested in finding out more about their work and possibly joining the Teulada-Moraira Lions can find more details on their www.tmlions.com webpage.
