DIVINO OPEN DAY AT “LA FINCA”,
BENIARBEIG, THURSDAY 21ST JULY
IN AID OF
The Franciscan Shelter for Men at Palma de Gandia
21 July at 10:30–16:30
“LA FINCA”, BENIARBEIG
Fabulous cards, gifts, candles and the fantastic range of “Frenchic” chalk paint, solvent free and
completely harmless to the environment. Sarah Mears wonderful collection of jewellery and bags and
Marilyn with her gorgeous handmade accessories. ♥ We also have a selection of Brand New baby
clothes and some gorgeous, new and barely worn designer clothing. ♥
Rosie Woodham and Sue Faulkner (Lenceria Susan in Javea), along with friends and various charities are looking
to raise enough money to install an air conditioning unit at The Franciscan Hospice at Palma de Gandia which provides a home and nursing care for around 65 men, many of whom suffer from mental or physical illness. Some are
terminally ill. These men would otherwise be on the streets and unlikely to survive without this special care. Three
Franciscan Brothers, (Hermano Guillermo, Hermano Pepe and Hermano Martin) assisted by local volunteers, care
for the residents around the clock. Their income is solely through donations. We have had a quote of 4,000 euros
which includes a new larger and more economic unit, fitting and installation. Obviously the heat is arriving quickly
here so we need this as soon as we can. All proceeds from the cakes and refreshments will be donated to the homeless men´s shelter in Gandia, (“Franciscan Shelter for Men at Palma de Gandia)”. They are in desparate need of
a new air-conditioning unit, so we are working together with lots of different charities to help us try and raise the
necessary funds.
They also urgently require the list of items below, so if you are able to bring just one item from the list, however
small, it will be gratefully received. THANK YOU! ♥
Male deodorant, spray preferred.
Razors, good quality so the skin does not pull and
tear, I know many of the men need to be shaved due
to incapacity and it is even more important to have a
good razor for this.
Sandals that fasten with velcro, not laces or buckles,
all sizes.
Shorts with elastic waistbands - lightweight tracksuit
material preferred.
Skin cream eg E45.
Electric Shavers.
Toilet Rolls.
Large rolls of Kitchen Paper Towel.
Paper serviettes.
Incontinence pads.
Surplus medications and drugs.
100 litre bin bags.
If you are unable to make it on the 21st, all items
for the Homeless Men´s Shelter can be dropped to
the following Javea Businesses and also to Rosie at
The Finca, Beniarbeig.
