WHAT a refreshing change to read Mark Woodhouse's illuminating story, "Birthday grief of a junkie's brave mum" (LET, May 5).
Along comes a "brave mum" in the shape of Susan Beach, who, in this "I'm all-right-jack" world in which very few people care over the fate of homeless young people, tending to sweep them under the carpet as an embarrassment to society, acts like a female Robin Hood and gives her all to the homeless, poor and afflicted.
Looking down on earth, her late son, Ian, would be very proud of his mum.
