Stamps and coins for charity
I WOULD like through your columns to be able to express the following appreciation for all the support that I am continuing to receive for my ongoing charitable appeals for stamps and coins.
Thanks to everyone who has been sending me stamps and unwanted currency (foreign and Irish) for charity. I continue to send stamps to the “Infant Cot Death Support and Research” charity, which raised just under £550 from these last year, and everyone’s contribution to this good cause therefore helps their invaluable work.
In addition, €209 was raised from the sale of unwanted currency, and this was used to purchase a cow and several piglets, and to provide safe drinking water for a number of families in the developing world through Oxfam. Unwanted obsolete currency is also being sent to Cancer Research for selling to collectors in their shops to raise funds for their good causes.
Continued thanks to all those who continue to support my fundraising efforts on behalf of these three charities. Every little helps, so please don’t throw away the stamps off your letters or any unwanted foreign or Irish coins or banknotes (new or old).
Thanks are particularly due to the following organizations for their regular major support, without which these appeals would have dried up long ago: Waterford Institute of Technology, Waterford Regional Hospital, Christ Church Cathedral, Hasbro Ireland Ltd., Construction Ltd. (Galway) and the DSCFA, in addition to various other companies and the many private individuals too numerous to mention who continue to send their stamps and coins in considerable quantity to help these worthy causes.
Special thanks too to Mrs. Betty Kelleher of “Supervalu” supermarket and the people of Cappoquin, who regularly send me cartons full of stamps for forwarding to the charities.
Stamps (both Irish and foreign – please leave these on the backing paper or piece of envelope if they are used, or else send new ones as they are, since any torn or damaged stamps are valueless and have to be thrown away) and unwanted foreign and Irish coins, bank notes and any unwanted Euro currency can be sent to me at the above address or left for me either at WIT (College Street or the main Cork Road campus) or Hennebry’s Camera Shop near the G.P.O on the Quay in Waterford.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
From: Dr. D.J. Rhodes
