This was in 2016 when we had to move from Eastbourne to Brighton and we were stuck as it was far away to move places and we needed like 4 days to move everything to Brighton and we had no place to sleep and our closes friends did not welcome us to stay at their place. But the kindness and wonderful human being Sally is she welcomed us at her small flat for 4 days and empathised with us and we were very grateful we knew Sally and we celebrated Christmas together. Which was a very exciting first Christmas in the UK with Sally. From Zain
