Dear Victoria,

I am writing to say a huge thank you for all the support and help you have given our family.

You have been a tremendous help to me when I was at my lowest, not knowing where we would be living.

Thank you for your practical help in filling out the relevant forms and referring us to Shelter’s legal team.

I have bought mattresses and a wardrobe for the boys, and I still have enough money left over to buy a rug, a cooker and a treat for the boys, all thanks to Shelter.

I know this is your job – but I know too that you put your heart and soul into helping us. I felt the warm and caring nature that you have. You are a truly wonderful person.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Maria
