Story
Eric Ericsson (nee Le Masurier) has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 skin cancer and stage 2 cancer of the brain... he is currently receiving treatment in Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in The Wirral . The effects of this agressive cancer has left Eric paralysed from the waist down and requiring 24 hour Nursing care.
His wish is to come home to Jersey and to his family.
As a family we have transferred his medical care over to Jersey General Hospital however we have now been told that we as a family are now financially responsible for his air ambulance transfer to the Island which Jersey General Hospital have provided a quote of approx. £6,800 for flight and nurse escort and £600 for ambulances from hospitals to airports.
We are now desperately trying to fundraise all we can to support Eric in his wish to come home to be with family as soon as possible.

4 years agoHi all; some fantastic news to share today... as of late yesterday evening Eric is now back home in Jersey where his family are now able to visit him regularly in the hospital. We are so very grateful for everyone’s kind words of support and generous donations that have gotten us this far. Whilst we still continue to fund raise in order to pay back the cost of his air ambulance transfer, we are just so thankful to have him home where he belongs xx

So sorry to hear that you have so poorly Eric. Many fond memories of us mixing concrete together in Kenya in 1975. Delighted to hear that you are back home. Thinking of you in our prayers.
