Story

Thanks for visiting this JustGiving page.

I've been asked by the website to tell a story here and make an impact. So let me tell you about the time Nancy and I made a bed (pictured, but, for reasons unknown, upside down). 3 trips to Wickes, 2 to B&Q, and 1 to Homebase. B&Q said "We cut wood", but they don't cut wood; they cut sheets of MDF, which are superfluous to bedmaking needs. They should replace the "We cut wood" signs with ones that say "We employ people who say 'pacifically' when they mean 'specifically'". Because that, reader, is the unpalatable reality.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my story, and that this encourages you to give to Refugee Youth Project. We believe firmly in helping people whose young lives have been imperilled through no fault of their own.
