IT’S NOT often that someone wins a fantastic prize – and then decides to give most of it away!
But that’s exactly what Barbara Williams said when we called to say she was the lucky winner of our sensational Park Christmas hamper draw.
Mrs Williams’ name was first out of the hat to win Park’s top of the range hamper worth £553.50.
She said: “I saw the competition in All Together NOW! while waiting for an appointment at the Countess of Chester hospital and I immediately knew what I would do if I won the hamper – I’d break it down into small food parcels and give it away to all the families I know who are living on the breadline.
“We are a very caring family and though far from being rich ourselves, we know there are many people out there who are considerably worse off and who are really struggling to even pay for the basics in life.
“My husband, John, died earlier this year and I am absolutely certain that he would have wanted me to share this super hamper with others who are struggling to pay their bills. So that’s what I am going to do — and I can’t thank the kind, caring people at Park enough. It’s fantastic that they support this great publication.”
Mrs Williams, from Helsby, Cheshire, has her fair share of health problems. She has rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and is in constant pain, but says “you’ve just got to get on with life and make the most of it”.
She’s also a massive fan of All Together NOW! “No other publication – including the paid-for ones – comes close to All Together NOW!
“The paper gives me so much information and highlights so many acts of kindness towards others.
“All Together NOW! is unique in every respect. It’s informative, supportive, warm-hearted and we all love it!”
