Many letters of thanks have been received from grateful recipients of The Freemasons Charity Hospital Packs since the Project began.

Recently this letter was received through Northern Division Grand Master R WBro Selwyn Cooper, it said....

To the Masons Charity

I am writing in deep gratitude for your amazing help in my time of need. I am an 84 year old Widow who was unexpectedly drive by ambulance to Auckland Hospital Emergency in only the clothes I stood up in and my handbag. My day out shopping turned out very different to what I expected. I had no toiletries with me when they decided to keep me in. But the nurse handed me a box which was a God send of toothbrush,paste,soap and flannel from The Freemasons Charity. I don't know if you could possibly know the relief I got by just being able to clean my face and teeth. I've just returned home after two weeks major surgery. I just had to write to you to show my appreciation.

Thanks

Signed
