An insight into our Ministries -Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project

Asylum seekers are particularly at risk at present. Most agencies they can access for some assistance are closing.  Any who had work were casual and part time and in jobs they will be likely to lose.  Most can’t work and have no regular income beyond help from charities.  All are very frightened about what is happening.  BASP is continually getting requests for rent utility and food money.  We are concerned about the physical and mental health of many of those we work with.  We are hoping that our supporters can continue with donations to ensure our ongoing support for those who are relying on us for help.

 

On the brighter side Killester College just delivered a huge number of Easter eggs to give to our folk and a young woman (ex Albert Park College) brought in a food voucher saying she was selling some of her clothes and as she sells them she will bring in vouchers to us.
