KILFINANE

NOTE FROM GERRY CLANCY

‘Just to let you know due to a recurrence of a chest infection, I have had to delay my travel to Greece. Given the virus and hospital situation there, I need to get it resolved before I leave.

I can confirm that all of the monies raised have been uploaded to Refugee Support and will be used solely for the provision of food and other essential items for refugees. Work to prepare the food market will commence by fellow volunteers this week, and hopefully I can join them in a week or two. I’ll keep you updated.

Regards Gerry.’
