Angel Priscilla

I had a call from a nurse who in the 1960’s, at 19, gave 5 years of her life to attend to people with Leprosy in India. She speaks of working with Paul Brand, if you’d like to know more about him click here

Her name is Priscilla and I don’t think there is any person more qualified to tell us about Leprosy and why we should do what we can.

After she called there was an incredible reaction to her, including these texts and emails:

“You were in the presence of an angel this morning. Absolutely astonishing. Stuart”

“Priscilla is rite-unconditional love transcends language and other barriers”

“Well done Pat, I think u were talking to a saint.”

2008 Leprosy Appeal

TOTAL AS AT 21:30, Thursday 18th December - $12,457.50

People cured from Leprosy: 39

12 months ago, at a whim I started an on-air appeal to get some money for The Leprosy Mission. I must admit to being ignorant of the issue of leprosy around the world, until I had just purchased an i-pod, the next day across my desk comes a pamphlet that says about what I had spent, could cure someone of leprosy forever...I kind of thought that maybe there was a better cause for that money than making my musical choice easier and more portable.

After 3 weekends we raised around $5,500 which meant we helped cure around 14 people.

If you want to get involved this year there are three ways you can do it:

Option One - Cheques
Send a cheque, made out to The Leprosy Mission, to...
Pat Brittenden,
Private Bag 92-198,
Auckland.

Literally $1 would be worth it. If every listener to Newstalk ZB gave $1, we could cure over 1500 people.

Option Two - Instant Text Donation
The other option is to text the word PAT to 469, this will instantly donate $3 to the appeal.

Option Three - Credit Card
Phone 0800 862 873 and tell them you want to make a donation with a credit card.

Option Four - Internet Banking
Leprosy Mission Bank Account 02-0264-0029018-003
Make the reference 'NEWSTALK ZB'
