"I received a letter from 9-year-old Moridiyyah this morning while I was preparing to have a coaching session with Balqees and I've not had goosebumps in a while as I did reading through. Shed small tears too and laughed hard at the end.
"Mordiyyah and her twin siblings were abandoned by their dad. I met them shortly after it happened and I usually do my bit through fundraising to help with their welfare. Been a while I saw them but I always keep in touch with their mum.
"Their mum came to visit this morning and handed the letter to me saying her daughter made her promise not to open the letter till it get to me.
