Margarita has been our most loyal volunteer at Save the Children since she joined our shop in 2013. She would not miss a shift, come snow or come shine, unless she was traveling around the world or visiting family and friends. After a "very very strong black coffee with plenty of sugar" and a little conversation about the past week, here she was helping and advising her customers many of whom were patients at the hospital across the street, and despite her own ailments it was all about them and she had gentle words to everyone. Margarita was extremely proud of her table displays and would always give me little hints of what was needed on the shop floor, she had a great business sense and was fiercely competitive but mostly against herself, always wanting to beat her previous shift to raise even more funds for the charity. Margarita was such an extraordinary person, strong, witty and continually looking ahead but her heart was with her children and grandchildren always talking about their visits and achievements. We miss her deeply and Thursday mornings at the shop will never be the same.
