A lot of people are struggling right now, but please remember it’s not a competition. You don’t need to “out struggle” someone. If they say they are having a tough time, ask them why, listen to them and see if you can support them. Don’t just respond with “me too”

Imagine if all of my followers RTed this and donated just £1. I’d be half way towards my fundraising target💚 a RT costs nothing 👇🏻 uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-dis…
