It's In the Bag: Letter from the Founder of Share the Dignity

A nice note was sent to Sue Terry from the Rochelle Courtenay, founder and Managing Director of the not-for-profit Share the Dignity which she founded to bring dignity back into the lives of women who are homeless or at risk of domestic violence through the distribution of sanitary products. 
 
Sue has written "In case you'd like to share this with all members and friends (via the Blog, perhaps), this is the grateful response I received from "Share the Dignity" when I shared with them our excellent result of 123 bags, and some of John's photos.  Thanks, everyone."
