Steve's Mum support

Dear Brethren and all,

Our Brother Steve Roper recently travelled with his beloved mother for a short holiday to Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Sadly, shortly after their arrival, his mother fell seriously ill and was rushed to hospital, where she remains under medical care. The doctors have not yet given clearance for her discharge, and Steve now finds himself in a very difficult and distressing situation—far from home, physically and emotionally exhausted, and deeply worried for his mother’s wellbeing.

This is a truly testing time for him, and it reminds us all of the sacred bonds we share as Masons. In times of hardship, we are called not just to offer thoughts and prayers, but to take action in the spirit of brotherly love and relief.

On behalf of Progress Lodge 4584, I have created a fundraising page to support Bro. Steve during this unexpected ordeal. Your contribution—no matter how small—will help ease the financial burden and bring him one step closer to returning home safely with his mother.

Let us show our appreciation, care, and unity. Let us prove once more what it means to be a Mason.

With fraternal love,

WBro. Dan Santos
