AFTAID - Passing on the thank you's

Messages of thanks sent to us are your thanks too

The people AFTAID help are always exremely grateful. Many write, or ask a carer to write on their behalf, expressing their gratitude.

The letters are heartwarming to us and they are also expressions of thanks to our supporters who have donated the funds we use to make the grants... they are your messages too. So here are a few of the thank you messages we receive on your behalf.

Mr & Mrs Brown from Poole have thanked us for the grant towards the cost of repairs to their leaking roof.

Mrs P Brown in Bucks, who received help towards the cost of a smooth slope pathway for access with an electric powered scooter.

Mr Cox of Lincoln, was unable to use his bath so we helped with a bathlift. He writes: "This really makes my life easier".

Mrs M Hawkins, who also wanted to say "a big thank you" received a grant toward thermal curtains.

Mr R Johnson, sent a letter on behalf of his mother to thank us for the grant towards a central heating system. "It makes a huge difference".

Ms S Canacott, wrote on behalf of her father who had received a grant towards the cost of a stair lift.

Ms A Platt, sent a letter on behalf of her mother to thank us for the grant towards a riser recliner chair.

Mr G Young, of Lancashire, says of his grant towards an electric scooter: "since I got the scooter my life is much easier and getting round shopping and getting about seems like a Godsend".
