In 20 years as a carpenter I had never been off work for more than a week. Then one day, I was working on a machine when a loud bang outside surprised me and I caught my thumb in the machine. I needed an operation to fix it. My Bread Fund supported me financially, and the members sent me messages with practical tips.
I was back at work after three months, and in this time my Bread Fund meant more to me than financial support.
