Weʼve raised £839 to enable our dear friend N to have treatment for his leg
- Wells, United Kingdom
- Funded on Saturday, 21st October 2017

Story
N is a 50 year old friend of ours, who is in a lot of pain a lot of time. He had a bad accident many years ago and smashed his hip/ knee. 4 years ago, he fell down the stairs, breaking his hip/ knee bones again. This time, despite many operations, it hasn't healed. He is heading for a final operative attempt very soon. If it doesn't heal, the only option he has been given is amputation.
N is a wonderful person who gives so much to those around him. He's otherwise fit and able, he's kind, intuitive, dynamic, a great events facilitator and a support to many. He's a loving partner and father and friend. Amputation is often devastating and preventable through utilization of existing healing methods to aid non healing wounds.
We would like to raise some funds for him to have treatment to give him the best chance of encouraging circulation to his legs. He has expressed interest in this. N hasn't been able to work much so doesn't have funds for treatments. He's in so much pain some days, he is unable to hold down a regular job.
Possible treatments he might try/ has expressed interest in are:

I know there are so many other worthy causes to give to. If you're able to help at all, any amount, it would be so appreciated. We have protected N's anonymity on this page, although those of you in the know will no doubt work out who he is! He doesn't know about this fundraising effort and I know will be very very touched!
10 year old Jaeden is going to do a sponsored half mile swim too next week but thought we'd put a fundraiser on here too.
With so many thanks.

7 years agoJust a quick update to say such a huge thank you for your generosity. I am leaving for China today but will leave the page open for another 2 days. In total, we raised over £1000 which is so fantactic. Challenges like the ones N is going through are often portals to much deeper awakening of inner qualities alongside the physical healing. Know that you have been a part of this happening and have made a big difference to one person's life. With gratitude 💕

7 years agoWe've reached our target and more, which is so fantastic, thank you!! It's so great that people reach out in situations like these and pull together! Please do continue to donate as courses of treatment cost! The more we raise, the greater the chance of promoting healing and avoiding infection (if infection sets in, there is only one option and that's amputation). WITH HUGE THANKS!

7 years agoThank you so much for your incredible support. N is having an operation end Oct. Money raised will go towards helping his leg to heal after this. The circulation in N's right leg is quite compromised (poor musculature, femoral artery cut, many broken bones and leg shorter plus restricted & painful movement so that exercise is limited). The better the circulation, the better the flow of nutrients to the area & the less chance of infection. Infection will lead to amputation. Your donations will be used to help to facilitate healing. Huge thanks
