So if there is anyone around the area that needs any support then please just get in touch with me and we can do our best to help. You are not alone in this. There is lots we can do even though we can’t be physically close. The worst thought I have is that someone is suffering when someone who lives next door could do something to ease this. Take care.

What if you don't have WhatsApp?
