My brother died at the end of November. He was living down in Essex and had struggled with cancer. The Big Issue Foundation were able to fly me down south so I could go to his funeral. It was so important for me to be there, and I’m really grateful they were able to help me be there.
Since Christmas, my brother-in-law and father-in-law have also passed away, so it’s been a really difficult time. Being able to get outside and speak to people is such a help – so, so much better than sitting in on my own.
I really have to say a massive thank you to all the people that work at The Big Issue and all my brilliant customers, because they’ve made a big difference to my life.
