Dear team at OTIS
A huge & most sincere thankyou to you for the compassion & generosity you’ve shown by allowing us a break at Casuarina Views last week.
I suppose as we just get on & deal with the realities & months of treatments that are a part of having cancer, we just don’t realise how much all of it is actually affecting us – until we are offered the chance to take a break & escape the reality of it all for a while.
This was truly evident as soon as we arrived.
We felt “normal” again and had a really wonderful, happy and stress free time together.
The house was so comfortable. The sound of the ocean from the balcony was so relaxing & the dusk walks with the stunning sunsets was a highlight of each day.
The thoughtfulness of the goodies in the fridge and the chance to read the wonderfully written book on Breast Cancer, that even at my stage put things into a clearer perspective and removed some of my fears.
We were so relaxed for the entire time and it took a really big effort to drag ourselves out of there and return to “daily life”.
We would never have been able to organise a get away as our finances are not in the best shape with me having not worked much this year, all the medical expenses and our small business that is doing it tough like all other small businesses at the moment.
So please know that what you do makes a big difference to people.
Many many thanks
Kind regards,
Wendy Mainprize and family.
