A letter from Lindsay
Hi, this is Lindsay. I wanted to write to Aral and all the people who have donated towards my appeals against the death penalty. I can not thank you enough for your generosity and caring. I’ve always been an independent person and I hate not to be able to pay my way. So for me this is a very humbling experience having to rely on the kindness of strangers and am very deeply touched.
I am trying to help myself. As you are probably aware, the government won’t assist despite pontificating that they are opposed to the death penalty. I knit and have just finished a piece that I’m hoping to auction to assist paying for my local lawyer and his assistants. They are really good people along with the enormous debt I owe to Reprieve for their support and simple caring. I know I have been difficult to deal with as the situation I am in leads to the ultimate emotional rollercoaster ride. They have been brilliant.
Prisoners Abroad is a UK charity that has quietly supported me personally with funds for buying drinking water and food. I will never be able to express the joy they gave to me. The precious gift of a visit from my youngest son.
Finally, thank you to my family, without whom I would have not had the will to carry on. The love I have received is beyond measure. I'm appealing first and foremost for someone I haven't met but so very much want to and want to get to know: my granddaughter who was born on the 1st of December, 2012.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your caring.
Lindsay
