Jennifer - Aldeburgh
Last week Jennifer from Aldeburgh last week won the top prize of £1,500 on the St Elizabeth Hospice’s lottery and then decided to generously donate this back to the hospice to help during this difficult time.
“The hospice cared for my husband just over a year ago, it is a charity so close to my heart,” she said.
“When I received the cheque for £1500 I was so surprised. I had no hesitation in donating it back to the hospice, especially now when you need funds more than ever in this difficult time.”
Pauline Donkin, the individual giving manager for the hospice said: “We can’t thank Jennifer enough for her generous gift back to the hospice. It’s such a difficult time for so many at the moment and her gift will help support our hard working clinical teams and nurses to continue to care for our patients.”
