00:00 Alright, so what made you start the fundraising?
00:04 I run a group on the estate anyway and I always do fundraising for everybody on the estate.
00:08 I do now Emily Luther Nann, Sorek Ployt and I thought, you know, let's try it.
00:13 So I started the donation page, they just dropped donations to my house and we're nearly at £7,000.
00:20 So we've done really well in a week. It's come from everywhere, we're rather well prepared by all the support.
00:26 How does it make you feel yourself?
00:28 It's lovely, I love it. We're just an estate, it's just an estate for everybody.
00:32 So when somebody's in trouble, we always club together.
00:34 Like a community?
00:35 Always, always. People say it's rough down here but it is what it is and we love it here.
00:40 It's our park and we will come together when one of our own needs help.
00:43 It's a big family as well.
00:44 It is, just a big family. Everybody knows everybody.
00:46 So we got Shannon and who have we got with you Shannon?
00:49 Delilah.
00:51 Is she a donkey, a pony?
00:54 She's a Shetland pony.
00:56 The kids, Tommy used to love riding her.
00:59 Yeah, that's it, it's got a special connection to Tommy hasn't it?
01:02 Yeah.
01:03 They all used to love riding, well they all do still love riding around the field and having a good time riding her.
01:10 So you've brought Delilah just to come and say hello?
01:12 Yeah, yeah.
01:14 She's off mate, she's off.
01:15 I asked if she could go in the house but his mum said no.
01:18 Now that would have been a good picture but also a big clean up operation I should think.
01:23 Definitely.
