Hey there, its Ken coming to you from The Gathering Place, our non-profit in Swansea, Wales. I want to update you quickly on how you are directly impacting lives during the coronavirus pandemic, and reaching those most at-risk and vulnerable.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for everything you have made possible. Because of YOUR support and prayers, we have been able to put together and deliver customised care packages for the vulnerable, at risk and isolated all across South Wales. We have been able to deliver customised care packages for individuals and to churches, city councils, nursing homes, and even hospital wards filled with those battling coronavirus, providing needed toiletries and other essential items.

I especially want to thank and honour, in the United Kingdom – the Moondance Foundation, and Awards for All; and in the United States – the National Christian Foundation. Because of your faith and trust, we have been able to dramatically increase the quality … and the quantity…of items we put into our care packages. We have also been able to deliver items such as pyjama sets to entire Covid19 hospital wards.

That’s right, pyjamas. The average time those suffering from coronavirus spend in the hospital is 16 days – isolated from friends, family…everyone. Very little to read, nothing to watch, nothing to snack on and no creature comforts from home…and something as simple as a pair of pyjamas go a long way in keeping the spirits…and the comfort… up.

And just like PPE, during lockdown, pyjamas are in short supply.

Being able to purchase, gather and deliver something as simple as pyjamas, or PPE, or food, or a Bible to those frightened and cut off from everyone they know can be the difference between hope and despair. And YOU are providing that hope to people in need in hospitals throughout Wales.

But we aren’t done yet. We are still not past the peak of Covid-19. The need is still desperate for care packages and other items for those isolated and vulnerable.

Covid-19 has struck with a fierceness here, and most people know someone who has either had the virus, is currently suffering from it, or in some cases, lost their battle. Over 45% of the local population has been told to self-isolate for up to three months, and this has led to shortages across the spectrum in necessary and essential items.

Due to creating relationships with wholesalers across Europe, every Gathering Place customised care package now comes with multiple rolls of toilet paper, facial tissues, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, a shaving kit, toothbrush and toothpaste, teas and coffees, non-perishable food items featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner items, fruit and protein bars, resources to battle loneliness, brand new copies of the New Testament, and my favourite, handwritten inspirational and encouraging words.

100% of your tax-deductible donations go to providing help and resources DIRECTLY to those who need it most. You can help us IMPACT lives for the Kingdom with love and joy. Just because you are in “lockdown” does not mean you cannot change someone’s life. Right now. Today.

Now is not the time to hoard and hide and live in fear. It is time to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Love you guys. God bless, and again, thank you.
