Letter: Giving thanks for the flood of knickers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I am writing to thank everyone who made donations to Kensington Consultation Centre as a result of the article 'Where dignity would be a pair of knickers' (1 October). Money is still coming in to buy the schoolbooks for the refugee children and we have been inundated with knickers. A large parcel arrived from a women's group in Scunthorpe, 70 pairs from Berkhamsted social services and three pairs from a young student who was off to university. One parcel with new warm children's hats and gloves contained a pack of 'snap', which I guess was hidden to surprise the recipient.
I am sorting through all the gifts with the help of some sixth- formers from North London Collegiate school and the lorry should go off to Bosnia at the beginning of November. Who says we have become a selfish nation?
Yours sincerely,
KATE STEVENSON
