A Gozitan priest and doctor currently on mission in Peru has issued a heartfelt appeal for urgent donations to help keep a hospital, a soup kitchen for malnourished children, and a home for abandoned elderly people running.

Fr Raymond Portelli Xuereb, who has been serving some of the poorest communities in Iquitos, Peru, says the facilities are now in desperate need of financial support to continue operating.

β€œAny help you can give us to continue serving the poorest of the poor in Iquitos, Peru, is most welcome,” Fr Raymond said. β€œPlease give us a hand to keep our hospital running, the soup kitchen for malnourished children, and our home for abandoned old people.”

Fr Raymond, who is currently in Gozo until 26th February, is personally collecting funds to support the humanitarian mission, which provides essential medical care, daily meals for vulnerable children, and shelter for elderly people who have been abandoned and left with no support system.
