We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Charity


When mother was out of work,
The social services didn't give
Her any money, but coupons she
Could use at a second hand shop
To get me a woolly jumper and
Boots and for herself a winter coat.
Mother got a fur lined coat she
Was mighty proud of, till a lady
Stopped us in the street and told
Mother that once the coat had
Belonged to her; after that mother
Only used the coat when we're
Doing our newspaper rounds in
Freezing winter mornings. When
Times improved she got a job, at
A canning factory, putting sardines
Into tins and the coat disappeared
From the nail behind her bedroom
Door.
