FULFILLMENT OF A LONG-HELD DREAM

Our long-awaited dream of owning a new vehicle has been fulfilled by St. Joseph, thanks to our good friends Mr. Michael D'souza and his family. We had shared our need with St. Joseph and even placed a picture of the vehicle around the neck of St. Joseph's statue in the kitchen. On 30th July 2025, the last Wednesday of the month, we received the wonderful news that Mr. Michael D'souza and his family had sponsored the vehicle for us. Everything happened quickly, and on 3rd August, Mr. Michael and Flavia D'souza handed over the keys of the vehicle to us.

Fr. Victor Machado is blessing the vehicle, a Force 9+1 seating van. Adrian, Mr. Michael's son, is cutting the ribbon. Mr. Michael, the Charity Commissioner, and his friends have gathered for this special occasion. May God reward his generosity and large-heartedness a hundredfold.
