As the year comes to a close, you can still make a meaningful difference in the lives of the poor and suffering. If you are searching for a way to spread the hope of Jesus this holiday season, consider a tax-deductible donation to Franciscan Missions.
With just days left in the year, we’re asking for your help one last time because there are children longing for the gift of education.
In Rwentobo, a town in southern Uganda, the Franciscan Karidaari Seed School is run by our Franciscan missionary friars who care for 42 children living in extreme poverty.
It costs $166 per month to care for one child with tuition-free education, daily meals, and therapy.
Use prosper code 25ACC3.
This is your last chance to make a tax-deductible gift for the year.
Every gift—large or small—moves our mission forward and gives one more student the gift of education.
One student named Alan is proof that your support for education changes lives.
From a young age, Alan longed to attend school, but he was not welcome because he couldn’t walk. Still, he refused to give up. Each morning, he pulled himself along a dirt path for half a mile, crawling on his elbows and knees, just to listen to lessons through the schoolyard fence, hoping for a chance to learn.
Deeply moved by his determination, the friars welcomed him to the Franciscan Karidaari Seed School, where he now receives the education he so desperately longed for. Through your generosity, Alan is the first child with a disability in his community to attend secondary school.
You have already touched Alan’s life with renewed hope and dignity, but there are so many more students like Alan waiting for someone to believe in them.
Will you share your treasure with more children like Alan by sending a special gift today to support our Franciscan missionaries and their work among the poor?
$166 per month will support a child that is longing for an education, a warm meal, and someone to believe in them.
Make a tax-deductible gift before midnight on December 31 to contribute to this worthy cause.
Use prosper code 25ACC3.
Thank you for your faithful support of Franciscan Missions. You are remembered gratefully in our prayers and Masses. We wish you a healthy and happy New Year!
