Our Story

Feel Better Box started from a terrible cold. Not Covid, it was 5 years before Covid truly showed me what a bad cold was. But back in 2015 I lived in Sydney with no family, only the found family I had made since we moved there. My husband was travelling for work, and of course I came down with the worst cold i'd ever had with my children who were one and three years old. 

It was hard. I was very poorly. The kids were poorly. No was there to help. It was, isolating and miserable. A constant cycle and needing to sleep but no one sleeping. When my husband returned home and we all recovered, I reflected on the time and wondered what would have helped me during that time, because it really was a stinker of a time. 

My mind travelled back to when one of my best friends in the UK gave me a care package for an up and coming holiday. And that simple gesture was so appreciated it came to mind instantly. And that is exactly what would have made me feel better during my cold (not covid). 

Eleven years later, I will still shout from the hilltops that I have the best job in the world, nothing beats sending a care package and love in the post.
