Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Olive Weekes was one of Britain's oldest Poppy sellers.

Olive had sent £250 that she had collected to the Poppy Appeal but the money was stolen in the post which caused her to lose faith in people. 

Olive tragically took her own life aged 92. 

I want to make back that money to show Olive that this country is full of good people and that we appreciate her.
