“I don't want to go to my grave simply feeling sorry for my poor brothers and

sisters. I want to be able to help them in a practical

way."

“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity; it is an act of justice. That I am able to support my family, I thank God. I would

like all my brothers & sisters to be able to similarly support their

families."

“Why did I remember CAFOD in my will? Because you reminded me!”

“I already give regularly but I feel that I can't take it with

me and CAFOD covers everything I

would like tobe involved in helping –

not only through prayer but in physical way.

God bless all your workers for they truly reflect the Gospel message.

Amen.”

“I wanted to leave something to help others and this seemed an

ideal way, also I wanted to support the work done by CAFOD for those who need it.

I am a Catholic and it is important to me to support a Catholic

charity working the third world.”

“I believe in your work and want aid to get

directly to those in need. Church structures provide

an effective framework avoiding intermediaries.”

"I want to support CAFOD's work to a greater degree than I can afford to during my lifetime."

"CAFOD works by empowering the disadvantaged and dispossessed to start to build their lives again."

“As a Catholic, the Lord teaches

me ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’.”

“As a human being and a Christian I feel called to participate in the work of caring for the poor

and the hungry; and in working for the

promotion of justice and peace.”

"My husband and I have worked hard

for what we have. We have been involved in

"charity" work for the greater part of our marriage and wish for it to continue after our deaths.

We know what monies we may have to leave will not

be wasted"
