The mum-of-three from Cardiff started by giving away clothes that she and her children no longer wore and set up a Facebook page asking if anyone else wanted to donate. She told WalesOnline: "It was an instant I'm going to help the world' thought." Much to her surprise within 24 hours, the page "blew up" and she found herself driving around collecting donations from other generous people in her local community. Very quickly Becki's new venture started to take off and due to the increasing petrol costs, she started asking people if they could drop donations off at her home. She now has 2,000 followers on the shop's Facebook page. Even though she doesn't take in larger items, she will post a picture of it to the group and people can collect it straight from the donator. Becki leaves her gate and garage door open so that people can come and go easily, and the opening hours are posted on the page nightly for the following day. She also started a money bank on October 13, so that if people wanted to leave a monetary donation they could. In less than a month Becki had received £162.59 in donations which she used to buy food for Cardiff Foodbank.
