Gracias por su amor y solidaridad

A Francisco Rico-Martínez, codirector del Centro de Refugiados FCJ, le fue diagnosticado un cáncer el año pasado y en estos momentos parece claro que no le queda mucho tiempo. Se encuentra en casa y están haciendo todo lo posible para que se sienta cómodo. Como podéis imaginar, la situación es muy difícil para Loly y su familia, así como para todos los que hemos trabajado con él.

Nos sentimos realmente reconfortados por los innumerables mensajes de amor, esperanza y oraciones que están llegando. Loly permanece al lado de Francisco y continúa leyéndole los mensajes que recibimos. Para asegurarnos de que los recibimos todos, hemos abierto una dirección de correo electrónico donde se pueden seguir enviando:

celebratingfrancisco@fcjrefugeecentre.org

En los próximos días habilitaremos un mural virtual donde todos serán bienvenidos para compartir mensajes y nos aseguraremos de continuar actualizándolos.

Gracias por el amor y solidaridad que nos envían en todo momento, pero especialmente ahora, al unirnos para celebrar a nuestro mentor, nuestro líder y nuestro querido amigo.

Thank you for your love and solidarity

Francisco Rico-Martínez, co-director of FCJ Refugee Centre, was diagnosed with cancer last year and, at this point, it is clear that he doesn’t have much time left. He is at home and they are working to keep him comfortable. As you can imagine, this is very hard on Loly and his family, as well as all of us who have worked with him.

We have all been so comforted by the countless messages of love, hope and prayers that continue to pour in. Loly remains by Francisco’s side, and continues to read your messages to him. In order to make sure we receive each one, we have established an e-mail address where messages can be sent. Please feel free to send your messages to
