Ms Sekona and her 11-year-old daughter Cherlese were next, bursting into tears when told of Mrs Purcell's generosity. It started two years ago, when Ms Sekona took in Mrs Purcell, her husband and their teenage daughter after they were evicted from their home. Back on her feet financially, Mrs Purcell this month began delivering gifts to those who had helped. Three weeks later they had a new rented home, again thanks to Ms Sekona. The first tears were shed by Mrs Purcell, who wept as she bought a reliable little blue car for her friend.
