Thanks to the canon of the chairs of the Three Kings, the City has donated 3,500 euros to a good cause, the Nursing Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
The mayor, Pilar Barreiro, today presented at the Palace Hall of the check to the Mother Superior Sister Bernadette, who manages the center.
The event was also attended by councilors of Social Services and Celebrations, Antonio Calderon and Florentina Garcia Vargas, respectively.
This 2014 it was up to the entity receiving the funds raised by Reyes, which as usual for years is donated to a charitable institution.
This is reflected in the specification of the operation of the chairs.
Cartagena you need.
Such confidence was shown this morning Sister Bernadette, who was grateful for the donation received by the City.
Also took the opportunity to ask for help to all citizens. These elderly depend on all of us, no matter you are poor or rich, is that a few hundredths of a person who has nothing also valued, and yes it is, he added.
The donations they receive, like this Consistory, at this time the intended expenditure of personnel and light.
And the staff and maintenance for the Sisters remain the two major expenses that have to face every month.
A total of 38 seniors are already installed in the Nursing Home the Barrio de la Concepción after completion of the refurbishment. Higher are very comfortable in their new location though, as Sister Bernadette confessed, have yet to adapt to change, as well as the staff, who claimed that they need more workers to care for the elderly who need it most.
