Story
Hey beautiful people. Please note that this is not a post looking for sympathy, just a simple plea for a family who want to spend some precious last moments together. I am reaching out to the wonderful community of JustGiving for any help you can give..
The story: My dear Mum who was a nurse in the NHS for her whole working life has been living on a narrow boat with her partner Richard. However, after a short fight with cancer things have taken a turn for the worse and she is now in hospital and has been given just a few short months to live. She is desperate to relocate back to frome or the surrounding areas where myself, my 2 Sister's and all of my Mum's Grandchildren, Brothers and Sisters live.
Mum obviously wants to be discharged asap as every day right now is precious. Her health is deteriorating and we need to get her down here while she is still well enough to move around.
The hospital however want her to have a permanent residence set up before they discharge her from the hospital in Coventry and hand her over to a care team down here and we can't get her registered with a GP etc until she has an address.
So basically.....We need help....we want to get her out of hospital preferably before Christmas so we need help to find somewhere for her and her partner to live.... Short term let would be a possibility. We could be looking at 3-6 months maybe less. Ideally it needs to have 2 bedrooms. One of which needs to be downstairs. They have a small amount of savings they can use for rent but are both retired and did not think they would suddenly need to move house and pay deposit and bills etc
She is going have to leave the boat her home for 15 years and now suddenly needs pay for a deposit, rent costs and bills. I really want to help take away some of her stress. I worked out £2000 would pay the deposit and about the first 2 months rent this would take some pressure off so she can spend this last precious time with her friends and family with out worrying about money and billsx
Let's get mum home for Christmas!!

5 years agoSo mum is coming out of hospital tomorrow! Yay! We have found a holiday rental that she can move straight into but it’s £500 a week! This means we still need a place for her to move after Christmas with downstairs bathroom. 2 bedrooms (one that could be used as a downstairs bedroom) and parking if possible. ASAP. Please ask everyone you know. Anywhere within a 10 mile radius of frome x This lady has worked in frome A&E saving lives and she just needs somewhere safe and not too expensive to stay for these last few months.
