Our stories — Alessandra Bester

I am a woman; that’s a hurdle. I am a mother. I am a single mum with no family support. I am a mother of disabled child. I am a carer. i have a chronic illness. I have no money…. I have no time!!! It’s impossible.          

Moral of the story is: can we support others more like the way they need to be supported and less the way we would want? After all, we are all different.

Since my mom inspired the Hearts and Roses Gift Box, I thought ‘how can I make it better chocolate that won’t harm for her high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and if possible, may even help?’

Can you believe all of these wonderful achievements that we can celebrate because of Cocoa? How can we ever accept that she is gone or that she was just a dog? How can we ever forget her?
