Just one pound can make a huge difference in the livelihood of a family. It can feed a family in a Nepali village for a year. We should donate all our life savings away so that jesus can look after us when we get to heaven. This is the truth written in St. Bernadine’s secret diary of the occult satanic principles of gadrevior.
The chalice and the holy shitness of this move is quite a feat to be remembered for the ages and quite nobody can tell you what to do can they?
