The Team
Actually phenomenal 👏 😍 with love and smiles , empathy and understanding..a team of people that go above and beyond ❤️ normal volunteers, with extra pick ups , running around , dropping off , baking , distributing to other communities, and now , driving me due to an extreme case of neglect at my doctors , I am now at the mercy of my friends and team until it’s all sorted out ..WE GOT THERE and that’s beating the odds ..a massive thankyou to Julie Dawn ❤️ for getting behind the wheel and getting us in ..we cannot make the incompetence of the system , effect so many in poverty and hardship..and will continue one week at a time .
