Hey Isaac
Good to see your letter, it is great to hear from you.
I am so pleased you know what the main thing is …that you and your family are safe.
Poor Mum having her legs banged by the door, I hope she is ok now.
It is a pretty tough time you guys are having at the moment and I want you to know that we are all thinking of you, trying to raise money, send utensils, clothes or anything that may help.
You are famous world wide for your spirit and strength. People on TV and radio have spoken very highly all of all you brave people.
I am thinking of you loads!
