It’s time we give Ronnie a special thank you for all his dedication and hard work over the last 4 years and to celebrate his birthday!!
Ronnie is a man who gives all of himself into all of his ventures. I’ve previously mentioned how his dedication and commitment to the Woodley Covid group was truly remarkable and inspiring but there’s so much more he was doing behind the scenes at all times of day and night, 7 days a week. During the peak of lockdown, Ronnie’s house became the hub of all the food donations. All 2 million items … YES 2 MILLION ..were cleaned and the distributed. (Not to mention the 261,619 items collected for the Ukraine cause!) This in itself is not an easy task but Ronnie was shopping for the vulnerable and delivering food parcels to the community and to the food bank. He himself was technically the ‘vulnerable’ category being 60+ but that certainly didn’t stop him. Hundreds of requests a week he sorted for a variety of things/needs which left hardly any time for himself.
Ronnie has also gone through his own struggles and loss in his personal life unbeknownst to anyone else. Which again took a back seat so he could focus on helping everyone else.
What a hero!
I decided to create this fundraiser in hope to be able to give Ronnie a birthday to remember and the opportunity to treat himself for the first time.
We were talking about his birthday the last few days and his birthdays in the past haven’t been anything to right home about it seems!
Let’s show our local hero just how appreciated he is and our gratitude to all he has done
