WE ALL REMEMBER those shoeboxes from school that we would fill up with stuff and send off to a charity at home or abroad.
Claire Fahy had completely forgotten about her act of charity when she was a kid, until yesterday when she received a special message on Facebook – as she recounts:
When I was 8 years old I wrote this note and put it inside a shoebox filled with crayons, gloves, a toothbrush and loads of other bits and it got sent off to children in disadvantaged countries. This morning, 16 years later, I got a message from a man in Armenia to say he’s been searching for me for years to thank me for his gift box. He took a picture of the note and sent it with his message. This is amazing.
As Claire tells DailyEdge.ie:
Myself and Arsen are delighted we’re now friends for life!
Wonderful.
