Thank you all who helped this year
"Wearing my heart out to my amazing neighbours -
THANK YOU for an incredible year! 🙏🏼
Your generosity in donating lawnmowers to restore and resell has enabled me to volunteer in prison every month, sharing hope and encouragement with the guys inside. There are lives being changed, testimonies being born, and yes, there are also lives not changed YET... but I won't give up! 😊 I'll keep turning up, month after month, year after year, because I know there is lives to be change.
If you still have lawnmowers you don't want or have upgraded, please keep donating! Every mower contributes to the ripple effect of changing a man’s soul, which can change a nation. 🌟 Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and a happy, healthy new year! 🙏🏼 #blessed #gratitude #prisonministry #changinglives"
