Due to unprecedented demand we have a severe shortage of prams and buggies, which we desperately need over the next few days.Now many of us don't live in the Glasgow area. But all of us using the internet can go to a baby-stuff site and type in the numbers from that little plastic thing we have in our wallets, and put the delivery address as:
If you’re in the Glasgow area and have a pram or buggy, in good condition, that you no longer need, please do consider donating it to us. We have a number of women whose due dates are imminent and are in particular need of prams or buggies suitable from birth onwards.
We’re also in serious need of baby baths.

This is called almsgiving. You get grace and at least a partial indulgence if you have even a habitual intention. The Sisters get a bit of help and encouragement in their work, and a mother who has resisted pressure to "terminate" gets something nice and new for her baby. So who loses? Come on! Let's give these people some help! My parishioners were more than generous with the Christmas offering so I just sent over the pink & grey "Zooper". That sounds fun :-)

Thanks, Father!
Sounds fantastic.
I'll go right over.
Partial indulgence hey?
Just had a thought to add to it - why not run an appeal for all the Catholic adoption agencies threatened by the disgraceful, illiberal SORs?
Fr Tim - thank you so much for this post...the response for far has been truly overwheleming. We've already received a number of beautiful new buggies, as well as several baths, and we've had word that more is on the way. Thank you again and God bless!
P.S. We tried to leave a message on Sunday but it doesn't seem to have come through.
It's a pleasure, glad to help in any way I can. You are doing the real hard work on the ground.
Thanks to readers for the response - I think that this is an idea that can grow.
Absolutely - can one order from the UK Amazon site if one is not in the UK?
Yes - there is no problem.
