the REFUGE

To Everyone who supports, or is concerned about Poverty and Poor People’s Rights,

Please consider helping Refuge Ministries and the local Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign Chapter. We are currently in dire need of financial help. Currently, the Refuge and the local chapter of PPEHRC are housing 3 families, a total of 12 people, including 6 children, in a local church, at the graciousness of that church. It is one of the churches where the Refuge uses office space. We are in dire need of financial help to keep the ministry going and assist these and other families and individuals. One of the families, which is 6 people, is staying at the Church due to their power being shut of at their house. They are on assistance and do not have enough to pay bill. The other families are homeless. This family is in danger of being homeless. They are a few of the many families we are dealing with in this situation. We are trying to raise $2400 to help these families. Additionally, the Refuge is having a shortfall of $1675 this month due to all these needs. I am currently driving a vehicle without air that has mechanical problems to transport people around and we desperately need another vehicle with air that runs good.

In addition to this, we are trying to bring poor people, formerly and currently homeless, as well as the unemployed to an event in Pittsburgh in a week and a half. We need to raise $2450 for this. We are bringing 10 people to this event. We need to rent a van and pay for gas. It is going to be a tent city with poor and homeless people, on Church grounds, during the G20 Summit. It is sponsored by the Bail out the People, The Refuge, and the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign. We need support for this. Your help is urgently needed for both this event and the Refuge. We also want to bring up tents, blankets, sleeping bags, and canned goods. Please, Please help us with this event and the families we are trying to help.

If you wish to help, you can give via pay pal (on the right of your screen). Or, you can email me at bgcwright@aol.com or call me at 727 278 1547. You can mail gifts to the Refuge 1818 29th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33713. We can also tell you how to direct deposit funds into account. PLEASE HELP US, THIS IS URGENT.
