A personal explanation of the chosen charities: “Pat supported WeSeeHope, for whom she was an ambassador, through regular donations from her curtain making business. The money Pat gave enabled WeSeeHope to support, mentor and train former street girls in tailoring and business management skills, so that through the work of their hands, they could regain their self-respect, experience the joy of skilled work, and, through it, provide a better future for themselves, their children and their extended families.” “Hope for tomorrow is a dedicated charity bringing cancer care closer to patient's homes via its Mobile Cancer Care Units. The mobile unit at Stroud made an enormous difference to Pat and made the weeks and months that she went through chemotherapy so much more positive. She spoke so fondly of the people she met, the conversations she had and the laughs they shared.”
