Poppy na Apela 2020 – Isang Salamat sa Royal British Legion

THE POPPY | 12 Nobyembre 2020

 

Nasa 99 taon mula nang maitatag ang Royal British Legion, hindi pa kami sumuko sa aming laban upang suportahan ang pamayanan ng Armed Forces. Tiniyak namin na ang mga naglingkod ay inaalagaan, anuman ang mga paghihirap na maaari nilang harapin.

 

Ngunit ang hamon ng COVID-19 ay naging mabigat. ang 2020 Ang Poppy Appeal ay nagmamarka ng unang pagkakataon sa kasaysayan ng Poppy Appeal na hindi nagawa ng aming mga boluntaryo na harapin ang mga koleksyon nang harapan sa England at Wales. Hindi kailanman bago sa kasaysayan ng charity, even throughout the Second World War, have all face to face collections been cancelled.

 

So today, as we bring our Poppy Appeal to a close, I would like to thank each and every one of you for getting involved in this year’s Appeal, whether you donated, displayed a Poppy in your window, signed up to Poppies in the Post, bought a poppy, did a virtual Poppy Run, fundraised for the Legion or showed your support in some other way.

 

It was both inspiring and moving to see so many people participating in different creative ways to pay tribute to the men and women who have fought – and fallen – over the years. Whether you created your own Remembrance event, took part in the two minutes silence on your door step, or simply wore your poppy as a symbol of your support, you were part of something truly special, and all of us at the Legion are so grateful to you.

 

We’ve created a short message for you dito to say thank you for helping us make every poppy count this year. I hope you will take a few moments to take a look.

 

With very kind regards,

Simon O’Leary

Assistant Director of Fundraising, Poppy na Apela
