A letter from a grateful recipient of the caring of The Freemasons Charity................

Dear Sheila

I am writing this short note to thank Freemasons New Zealand for providing the finance for me to purchase my hearing aids. I have now had them for 3 weeks and what a great help they are.

I can hear the birds singing and also hear what people are saying when I go to Lodge at nights, not guessing at what they might be have said. Also I feel more like mixing with people as I can hear what they are saying and not making a fool of myself giving the wrong reply to their questions.

Once again, I sincerely thank Freemasons Charity for the generous financial help in purchasing the hearing aids. Please accept my grateful thanks for all your efforts, and also would you pass on my thanks to W B Les Brennsell for all his help also. If I find myself in a better financial state I hope I can repay their cost at some time in the future.
