Surprise donation to One life

Yesterday,3rd April, I received an unexpected and very welcome donation of £300 for the charity. This money was donated by Jenny Harwood a member of St Anne's Parish Church, Chingford.

Jenny specifically asked that this money be used to cover the postal charges incurred due to the many goods we send out to South Africa on a fairly regular basis.

Always, when posting goods out to South Africa, is the worry of running out of money to continue doing this. Many of the goods sent are donated except for the torches and radios so the main expense is with the postage so Jenny's unexpected donation came as such a welcome surprise.

I have been posting out quite a lot of parcels lately as the wind up torches are urgently needed in the attempt to prevent more shack fires due to the frequent use of candles.
Bras are also needed and various other goods.

My grateful thanks go to Jenny for this wonderful amount of money. Whenever I worry about lack of funding something tends to crop up to help us out and I am always touched when this happens.and give thanks for the many unexpected acts of kindness and caring which frequently come to the charity.
