After the phone call:

Peter persuent to our telephone conversation yesterday I would like to say that I do feel now that this was some form of misunderstanding and as nobody has admitted to putting my name on the  bag it looks like someone may have made a mistake and is not admitting to it.  The fabric is back with Vinnies Randwick now although after our talk yesterday and my discussion with my friend who is a barrister I understand that the bag was freely given to me as a gift and in law a gift does not have to be paid for by a token payment or any other form of payment as was first suggested to me by *******. He also said this reminded him somewhat of the Martha Stewart case in America where she was jailed for lying about what happened, not for the actual deed committed. The fact that nobody will admit to putting my name on the actual bag of goods I feel is an indication that someone is lying here and the repercussions of this on my family has caused me great pain.

This started to be an issue about what I felt was the abuse of donations but it descended into something else altogether. I feel that I was not heard as a customer by ***** and the fact that as a customer I was reduced to tears on a shop floor in front of customers, by what was said by an area manager really became the issue as did the then discussions with my husband at work instead of with me …the customer who had the issue. My tears with you yesterday were an indication of the distress that I felt when I heard David was being asked if he was clear about this issue now…after being somewhat scolded I believe…it was never his issue to be clear about, it was mine.

You know David and I are committed Christians and as such we totally uphold the ethos of the Society of St Vincent de Paul . David has been a great companion to the charity and I was mortified that he was dragged into this especially since ********** was aware that he has just returned from compassionate and unpaid leave where he basically said goodbye to his mother after her recent amputation and ill health…and that goodbye was probably his last.

One does not know what people are going through in life and I do feel that the staff at Vinnies should be aware that some of the shoppers are there for a reason…in my case because **************and need to still maintain some dignity in how I dress and conduct myself…but for me to go up to the store, in great physical pain, and speak to the area manager on the phone as asked by Tom, so that he might be cleared of any knowledge of the bag and then to be treated like a naughty schoolgirl….whch was how the discussion went..is reprehensible in my mind and also the minds of my family.  Our son is a writer and he is absolutely insensed over this…..he could probably put it better than this but I am just speaking from the heart here.

I would  like to feel that David is not going to be  treated unfairly because of this…I  am so concerned that he may be  shipped off to some store in the back of beyond or something….Peter could you please set my mind at rest that he will not have any repercussions because of what happened here? I am so worried because he is so terribly upset at how I have been treated …. I will leave it with you now.

Sincerely yours
Kathleen
