My second birthday in lockdown is approaching ... who could have ever dreamed we would still be here?! But, we are, and we are getting stronger, and ready to face the world when we return to some kind of normality.

What a year it has been and, of course, the most challenging few months I could have ever expected. Every day brings strength and new joys, realising how fortunate I am, and I look forward to the day when I can be reunited with my friends and family with joy and excitement!

For now, with my birthday ahead, I have one wish - to raise further funds for my beloved children at Copii in Difficultate. They are a regular joy in my life, despite the challenges they face daily, and I would love to be able to send them a little more support for the times ahead so I turn to you all once more for your help.

I realise that times are tough and, for this reason, I do not have a specific goal in mind. All I hope is that I can raise as much as possible, from whomever of you may feel able to contribute, to bring joy, comfort and love to these beautiful children.

Thank you, all!
