Press release -for immediate release WATFORD FIRM'S GIFT OF XMAS JOY RESIDENTS of a Watford care home were able to send Christmas cards to their loved ones thanks to the generosity of a local firm of website designers, Zakomedia. The company donated 150 cards and stamps to the River Court Nursing Home in Explorer Drive, Watford, and Zakomedia boss Simon Jones and his wife Jessry -who works as a care assistant at the home -spent four hours writing cards for the residents. The home's rules, designed to protect the residents, mean that staff aren't allowed to accept money from the old people in their care -not even to buy Xmas cards on their behalf. That's when Zakomedia stepped in, and with children from St Anthony's School singing Christmas carols to entertain the residents they solved the problem in less than four hours. After Simon and Jessry had helped the old folk write their cards they took them home and checked all the addresses and postcodes on the Royal Mail website. Our picture shows Simon and Jessry with one of the residents, Mary Langley, 78. They helped Mary send out 26 cards! Said Simon, 26: "It was a very touching experience because some of the messages were heartbreaking, although many were full of hope. All the residents were incredibly grateful." Jessry, a talented artist born in Mauritius, said: "Seeing the happy looks on so many faces made it very worthwhile for Simon and I. A lot of families are going to be very happy to receive Christmas messages from their loved ones."
