Hey Emma, a little story here with a GREAT ending ... I moved (or rather got kicked out of home as a teen for no apparent reason than having a Mother with mental issues), i at the time had $300 to my name and a few things i had saved in my glory box like an iron, towels and a few kitchen cooking utensils ... yep that was it, oh and a bag of clothes & a couple pair of shoes) ... My BF at the time's Auntie rented out to me her old bungalow fully furnished with very old furniture but at least it was very clean (and i was very grateful) ... It had two small rooms one being a bedroom and the other a kitchen with a couch in it and a shower in the corner ... My vanity mirror was a mirror over the kitchen sink, the toilet was a long way from the bungalow outside which i wouldn't use as it was run down and always full of huntsman spiders so my toilet ended up being a bucket in the shower.
A very kind old lady living next door heard about my living there with no family help or support and she handed me over the backyard fence two old dented aluminum saucepans ... me having pride said i would pay for them one day when i had the money and she said not for me to be silly and just take them, that in taking them it mean't something to her to help someone ... and she said one day if someone needs my help i will do the same in return (which i have a few times now )
I lived there for two years until i got myself on me feet with study and work ... and needless to say i kept those saucepans for many years as a reminder that there are the kindest people on the planet, even strangers ... who will pop out of nowhere (even over a fence, lol) - when you might need a little foot up in the world
So Emma what i'm getting at is if you PM me your postal address if you would let me give you some * kitchen stuff * i have (not those saucepans they have been well gone now as i was given them over 20years ago now, lol ) ... All is in fab condition and just sitting in my cupboard waiting for a new owner ... and maybe one day many years down the track you could do the same in return for someone as i did and the little old neighbour i once had
... and Emma please don't be shy as i would truly loved to (postage no cost of course as i have that covered too ) ... and lets look forward to getting you into your own sweet home for you & Grace that has all that you need (and maybe more )
