Hello. My name is Antonio.
I'm a member of America Needs Fatima
I work on a daily basis with Mr. Robert Ritchie
director of America Needs Fatima.
Today we are speaking with Mr. Matthew Shibler
who for the past eight and a half years
has been taking the statue of Our Lady of Fatima
to homes across the nation.
About one year ago
Mr. Matthew came up with a new idea on how to make this operation more
efficient
We want to ask him
to explain to us
what this idea was. Matthew...
you have put a lot of effort in this new idea
and in fact after a year it has proven to be more
you know fictitious could you tell us about it
be investigated
his to overcome some of the difficulties of the custodians could take a statute
for home home have
on a daily basis anywhere in the country
are difficulty lives again
trying to stay on the road for an extended period of time out of the
millionaire
that includes the statute the people of the statue the stock
anything that will be with you during the visit such as handouts
flyers and
uh... pictures of relief and so forth
you can well imagine what the inside of that vehicle book with a plan
and be cramped quarters
nursery freight and so forth
to get around that to get around professional looking for a hotel room to
get around
constantly
packing and unpacking your bags
decided to
news editor
so i think you're holding back
and passing day after day on the road
motor homes throughout the country
it's parked in my head the idea or he gave me the idea
that it would be a very fishing way tonight on a carry
our belongings and necessities
but also eight
much greater quantity of stock
and feel
like home
instead of a hotel room
but we spoke you about being cost effective
how old is would this work i mean in anybody knows them all the homes of very
expensive
that's correct but today is a buyer's market
if you use a vehicle going back to nineteen ninety-eight especially
you can take a couple of zeros off of the original price
it is
fourteen-year-old vehicle
not a problem
it using a diesel pusher
and getting a vehicle that has been well take care of
we we get around that problem
and one of the benefits
did you find using a mobile home
pistol benefits the first one
being person on the second one being cost-effectiveness
on a personal basis you have much more space you have a lot more room
um... is not anywhere near scraps it's a place to go home feel more like a
terrible takes her home with you
instead of casa looking for a new place to stay
cost-effectiveness side we are making our o'neill's
we are sitting in our own house
we are constantly giving away our funds to hotels
and anything we've put into the motorhome stays with us
you mentioned that this
no idea was going to be a lot more cost effective
so what is the difference between al
and expenses you had before using the media
it's about fifty percent more cost effective
fifty percent could you put that down a bit
sure before karke arming costs were
launching through if u
we reverse that to refuel
food and lodging
are there any other benefits
yes during the visits we also sell stock which includes rosaries books statues
large posters and other religious items
something for the people to remember because of my
we can only carry so much in a minivan
for six weeks is impossible so we had to be resupplied along p
whose obviously it was a mini vans and so much and carry
this is a resupply was not only inexpensive but also
not very effective
sodomy to match our travels with supplies coming is very difficult
we oftentimes lacked stock
i take three to four months worth of stock with me and we'll have more
problems
living for six weeks on the road
doing two to three visits a day five a six days a week
as you'll see our quarters or other spartan
uh... for four beds in the place where a queen size
is to be
uh... we make our own mills
and you mention children visits home
parties unity is each visit it's visit is to have to three hours
marks and he claimed his innocence
you could be a total of minority people's homes there we would be lucky
to have a nine-hour day
so it's hard work
it's hard work and i can understand why he won't come back to you all please
matthew now we have seen coefficient
this morning to you of using a mobile home his
is there anything you would like to ask our viewers
yes
i would like to ask our viewers to help us to take our lady of fatima statute
and message to as many new people as possible
we're doing our best to be cost effective
but it's still not free
our greatest expenses
food and fuel
are heavily mother depends on your generosity
to take her message to as many new souls as possible
