After a long 8 years, due to moving around, bereavements and various other mental health battles, it is finally time for surgery.

This surgery will finally make me complete and I am due to start a new career this year as well, so life is also finally coming together.

In the short term however, there is a significant recovery period and due to various reasons, I will be on zero income for most of that time.

I hate asking for help at the best of times and even writing this was difficult for me but I am out of options and so am relying on the kindness of friends, family and strangers to help me get through this final hurdle and out the other side.

Thank you so much in advance for anything you can do.
