JUST when you think the whole world has gone bad, the kindness of people restores your faith in human nature.

The Bolton News printed an article about my little boy Zak, who contacted meningitis when he was five months old, which left him severely disabled.

I am writing to thank the people who have been so kind to Zak, especially the anonymous donor who stepped in and donated £1,200; also the nursery staff; strangers who have been so kind to help raise money for his bike, and, of course my friends.

Zak is the happiest little boy in the world and I am lucky I still have my lovely son.

It is a rare person who can light up any room with a smile.

To the people who helped us, you will be in my heart forever, I just want to thank you all for your kindness.
