I must admit..before reading this, I had preconceived notion of someone taking advantage of the system or charity. But, did catch me out, good to see others with such strong spirit to help others, and someone humble and embarrassed accepting (not expecting charity, but accepting it with humility).
Too often it isn't that way, at least, the stories that are publicised show the negative side of britain.
Not ashamed to admit a dry eye was close to being breached
