From a single mum, who has escaped a violent relationship
“I realised when I started to think about the vouchers how much weight this gift will take off my shoulders over the Christmas period with what lies ahead for my children and I. I cannot thank you enough, it is extremely generous, and I hope good things come in return to everyone who is a part of such a kind act.”
