Rewarding Great People - Issue 6

Jazzmine Matthews was a colleague that wasn’t seeking assistance, but found that My Dream was there to help in her time of need:

“I’d heard about My Dream, but I’d never thought I’d need help. It never even crossed my mind to put in a request, so it came as such a surprise when they reached out to me.

“That was a massive lift. Not only was I worried about my brother, but I hadn’t thought about how to pay for everything.

“In July last year I received a call about my brother, Josh, who lives in Spain with his fiancé and two children.

“Thankfully, Josh is okay now, but at the time I didn’t know if I was going to lose him or not.

“All I was told was that I needed to get out to Spain because Josh was in hospital.

“My Dream came and supported me when I was at my worst, and It took so much of the stress out of the situation.

“So, I got the first flights I could from Stansted. It’s nowhere near me, and it was the summer holidays, so everything was booked up and expensive, but I just put everything on a credit card and thought I’d worry about it later. “I flew to Malaga and went straight to the hospital where I was told that he was in the ICU after falling from a balcony. He’d fallen from a great height and his lungs wouldn’t inflate, so he had to be kept on a ventilator. “I stayed for eight days straight before I had to fly back home. But I took every Friday off work for the next seven weeks, as I flew back and forth between here and Spain. “Then Maria Pratt reached out to me and said that Joanne Conway had heard about my situation and wanted to help pay for my flights.

“It’s such an amazing thing that FM Conway offers, and I want other people to see that the company we work for do care.

“I’m in awe of a company that would do this for their staff, and I was just taken aback by the gesture.

“My family and I are forever grateful.”
