He never asked for the money Bruce.
He played on my emotions though..because he was telling me how hard it was for his mum and sisters,since his dad died.
I only sent £40 he was so appreciative of it..kept thanking me..said it will keep them in food for two weeks.
It cost as much to send it all to Uganda it was a P.O. Box..post office said he should get it within five working days.
The sweets longer because they weren’t recorded.
£12 it cost to send one Jiffy bags..much more than the sweets cost.
