A Grateful Donation to a Veteran in Need
Earlier this week, I had a conversation with Simon Jones from the Bulldogs Boxing & Community Activities and Veterans Club. During our chat, Simon mentioned a new service user—a veteran—who had recently fallen on hard times and lost everything.
Around the same time, I was speaking with my daughter, Emma, a single mum to two beautiful children. She told me she had just purchased a new car and, in her usual thoughtful way, said she would like to donate her previous vehicle to a veteran in need. When I mentioned the veteran's situation, she immediately said, “He can have it.”
I cannot begin to express how proud I am of Emma—not just for this incredible act of kindness, but for the woman and mother she is every single day. Her generosity and compassion have made a real difference in someone’s life, and I am truly inspired.
