Dearest Donors, we need your help \"????\"<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
We have received the sane HK$40 daily food allowance from the Hong Kong Government since January 2014, for which we are grateful. However, the electronic food cards may only be used at Park’n’Shop which is obviously more expensive than Kai Bo marts, 759 stores and the cheaper wet markets around town.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Prices at Park’n’Shop are skyrocketing … for example:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
a. 8Kg of rice was $86 but it now $113<\/strong><\/div>\n
b. a box of pasta was $14 but is now $24<\/strong><\/div>\n
c. a can of sardines was $12 but is now 28<\/strong><\/div>\n
d. a bag of choisam was $12 but is now $24<\/strong><\/div>\n
e. three packs of milk were $45 but are now $59<\/strong><\/div>\n
f. a carrot was $4 but is now $9<\/strong><\/div>\n
g. a cucumber was $12 but is now $38<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If possible, please help us buy some of the groceries listed below. These are essential items that are out of our reach. Your help will go a long way in feeding our families. Sadly we are beggars as we are not allowed to work. Our opportunities are limited since we have no money in our wallets and churches \/ NGOs are either struggling with resources or closed by Covid-19 infections. A partner’s monthly grocery donation was cancelled yesterday! \"????\"<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
