Chocolate... coffee... wine? Giving up small luxuries can be suprisingly difficult. Now imagine what it must be like to give up your home, your family, your country. Most asylum seekers and refugees are forced to give up everything they hold dear, while fleeing to safety.
A friend of mine decided to take the theme of sacrifice at Lent one step further by trying to not only give up a luxury, but provide for someone elses need. Normally she buys a capaccino everyday. She decided she would not only forfit this favorite morning treat, but also donate the money she saved (£1.40 each) to Abigail Housing. So by the end of lent she’ll have donated £56! Now her sacrifice will really help someone who has lost everything to poverty, war and insecurity.
