WINNING LETTER

WHAT A SURPRISE!

I’m a single mother who struggles financially to get through each month. When my washing machine broke I had no funds to repair it, so I asked my neighbours if I could do my washing at their place.

On a Wednesday afternoon my bell rang. At the door was a gentleman from a retail shop. To my utter amazement and shock, he delivered a brand-new LCD-screen washing machine! I’ve never owned a new washing machine before. When I tried to thank my neighbour, he cryptically replied, “The machine wasn’t from me, I’m just the messenger.”

This act of true kindness inspired me to make a difference in somebody’s life every single day. Thank you to Mr C the “messenger”!
