Brother, can you spare a dime…
I am overwhelmed with the number of people that wish to donate to the Samaritan’s mission—preventing deaths in the desert. Please read the note below from the minister of the Good Shepherd United Church of Christ. This is the little church where our group meets.
“….If you would like to send a donation to support the lifesaving work of the Samaritans, please send the check to The Good Shepherd UCC, 17750 S. La Canada, Sahuarita, AZ 85629. Write the check to the Good Shepherd UCC and put Samaritans in the MEMO line. 100% of your donation will go directly to the lifesaving work of the Samaritans.”
The Samaritans have a few expenses—namely keeping our aging van going as we do “water drops” and desert searches looking for migrants who need help; and medical supplies, food, bottled water, and clothing at the “comedor” in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. We are an all-volunteer group—no paid members. Most are retired people who live in Green Valley, AZ. A large percentage of Samaritans are in their 70’s, some in their 80’s. Never underestimate the power of the children of the 1960’s. These folks are on fire.
Hola Peg,
I did not think about my age until you posted your comments. I still believe that the 60’s still lives in many ways. Compassion and love.
