Story
In August 2016 John and his family suffered a life changing event. John fell down the stairs in his family home after suffering a seizure, this was witnessed by his wife and daughter, what has been a torturous 6 months has led to the prognosis that John will spend his life in a wheelchair due to paralysis from the waist down. This is a tragedy no family should ever have to endure and a devastating outcome for a loving family man who despite his health problems resulting from a brain infection 10 years ago has always remained positive with a zest for life. John has remained in hospital since the accident and is currently undergoing intensive rehabilitation. Claire and Jennifer visit the hospital daily and are desperate to get their family unit back together.....this is where you all come in. John is unable to come home as their home is not able to be adapted to create enough living space for John to live in the confines of his wheelchair, he will need specialist equipment and hoists. Access to their house is not suitable meaning John can not come home! Claire and John due to these awful circumstances are having to sell their family home and we need to help them raise as much money as possible to buy an adapted bungalow. For those of you who have already donated we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and those of you who know John will know he would be first on the donation sheet if this wasn't him, please help in any way you can to give this well deserving family the chance of a comfortable life together 💙

I have set up this page to raise money and awareness for my brother-in-law John and my sister and family. They have endured more in the last ten years than most people have to cope with in a lifetime and deserve all the help in the world. 💙💙💙
