My story

Tom is 24 and had been studying at Nottingham Trent University, an accident in October 2011 has left him paralysed. Tom is very special, someone who gives warmth, energy and a smile to everyone.

Thanks to your donations we are now starting to create a living space with the right equipment to enable Tom to enjoy a future life that is independent and fulfilling. 

The help and support so far has been overwhelming - we are at the start of a long journey together and this page is to enable us to raise funds for Aspire to enable them to help Tom. 

If you wish to donate you can do so here or send a text to 70070 with the message TOMZ99 followed by the amount between £1 and £10 (i.e. TOMZ99 £5) 

Thank you
