Thank you all for jumping in to support the Georgia Trust
Dear People of Shropshire (and wider).
The Williams family would like to thank all of you that have supported our daughter’s trust – The Georgia Williams Trust.
Georgia was a kind, loving, outgoing teenager who had dreams and plans for a full exciting life helping people and animals alike.
When Georgia’s life was taken away by a cruel entity we, her parents, thought that was the end of Georgia’s dreams.
However, from a collection initially to buy a remembrance bench in Bowring Park by her friends from college, grew the Georgia Williams Trust – giving her spirit the chance to live on and fulfil her life ambitions through the support of the kind people of Shropshire.
The trust is based on the basic principles found, by chance, on a list entitled ‘20 things I want to do before I die’ hidden in a book in Georgia’s room. The list includes the following: save a life, give blood, work in an animal sanctuary, raise money for charity – to name a few.
There were some other more frivolous wishes like kiss Michael Bublé, as you may expect from a normal teenage girl.
Through your generous donations to Georgia’s Trust her wishes are coming true. The trust has helped to save lives, helped both abled and disabled talented young people achieve their goals, helped orphans in Chile, build a school in Morocco and endless good causes close to Georgia’s heart.
As a keen sports and outdoor person Georgia did a lot to encourage her peers to ‘join in’, contribute to their own development and to the community around us, try out new things and experience life to the full. If you can do a good deed then do it was her principle.
This has been achieved by the trust working with local schools, sports associations and talented local individuals who in turn contribute back to the trust by getting involved in reciprocating projects.
Georgia died when she went to do someone a ‘good deed’, but instead her life was taken before she could accomplish the greater plans that she’d often talked of – to be a paramedic in the Airforce so that she could save lives first hand.
But, Georgia’s ‘good deeds’ live on through the ‘good deeds’ of the people of Shropshire in volunteering and donating to Georgia’s Trust.
So we offer you our grateful thanks for all your help and wish you all a long and happy life doing good deeds.
From our hearts.
Steve, Lynnette, Scarlett and, most of all, from Georgia
