Update in progress! There have been a lot of questions how to help people that live on and have their business on the Camino. So I decided to compile a list as those cases come to my attention. Choose your case and donate directly to it and if you know of another place that needs help, please contact me: https://egeria.house/contact/

Hi Sybille, Any albergue on the VdlP or Madrid we can support, please?

Not at the moment, the only one that comes immediately to my mind would be Padre Blas’ albergue in Fuenterobles de Salvatierra on the Plata. Not sure how they are doing financially, but I know he is housing some stranded people there. Here is their website: https://alberguedefuenterroble.wordpress.com/
Drop him a note and ask him?

Albergue Santa Cruz, Sahagun. Still needs a little more for their plumbing works, necessary work even before Covid. Spoke with Padre Daniel yesterday, works underway as far as possible given restrictions.
Tell them to send me a paragraph of text and a photo or two and I’ll put them on the list 😉
