On 22/07/24 Nana (Jackie from Bedford Spiritualist Church) set off to Milton Keynes with a car full of her grandchildren to treat them to lunch when her car suddenly set on fire out of the blue, very scary!

The car went up so quicky but with her courageous ways she managed to get all the kids out the car and to a place of safety quickly, however the car is, well, burnt to the ground. We shudder at what could have been and are so grateful that everyone is okay! Sadly due to the nature of the incident she does not meet the criteria for a courtesy car, which makes things more difficult.

As a family we just can't believe that this has happened after the year she has had. Earlier this year she had to battle cancer for a third time and has been recovering from a kidney removal since. The woman has 9 lives but this has taken a toll on her today.

She does so, so much for the community in her running of Bedford Spiritualist Church and has created a safe environment for so many people, makes no money from it just works from a place of love for the church, that we thought we should lean in, and ask for you guys to support her back in contributing to getting her a car.

Shes a little old lady now (haha sorry nana) and the car she had wasn't anything special, but it did the job. Her insurance won't be great and we will help her as a family, but she needs something sturdy and safe to make sure she can get back and forth to keep those Church doors open and keep helping everyone around her like she loves to do!

We get times are hard but every little helps and we just want to show her that we appreciate all that she does for everyone that graces the doors of the church and beyond!
