We support people with Spinal Cord Injury to help them live full, independent lives

Story

Angela Peterson-Barnes, a 47 year old mother of one from Godalming is desperately trying to raise the £4670 required to purchase an automatic page turner that will allow her to continue her study of Crystal Healing, in addition to resuming ‘A’ levels and then hopefully a degree.

Angela, a tetraplegic, is unable to turn the pages of books and magazines following an accident in 2006 that left her paralysed from the neck down. She now needs the assistance of a full time carer in addition to the fabulous support provided by her family.

Without the page turner, study for Angela and the possibility of developing new skills that may lead to a new career will be impossible. The page turner will also enable Angela to read books and magazines for pleasure – something most of us take for granted.

Leading spinal cord injury charity ASPIRE are supporting Angela in her appeal to raise the necessary funding for this equipment which will make a fundamental difference to her everyday and future life.

Thank you for visiting this fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor Angela online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ASPIRE will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.

 

 

 Please note, any money raised over and above the appeal total will be used by ASPIRE to further our work with spinally injured people.
