DO NOT SUFFER ALONE. PLEASE REACH OUT TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND TRUST IN YOUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOURHOOD OR COMMUNITY GROUPS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH.If you are able to offer help to your neighbours, you may want to consider printing out and distributing this post card, which has been been designed to be printed out, filled in and popped through the doors of your neighbours OR you could display it in your window.
