Story
Hi,
I wonder if I can grab a small piece of your time to update those that have kindly already donated and tell you a short story that may resonate with some of you and has left me feeling heartbroken.
After 55 years of hard graft and self employment, my Grandfather was admitted to hospital last week and has been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer, a bleeding stomach ulcer and numerous suspicious shadows on other organs. The past year has seen him and my Nan fall victim to shameless scams and rogue traders all of which have added to the stress. My original plea was in hope of funding a new fridge freezer but thankfully the tradesman that failed to repair their fridge freezer had a conscience following my Mum leaving an emotional plea on his answering machine 6 months after he had taken their money without any return.The fridge has now been repaired even though the quality of workmanship remains to be seen!
Grandad has continued to work up until his admittance to hospital and they are now facing huge financial insecurity at a time when his only concern should be the hope of some respite from the ill health he is suffering. Sadly chemotherapy has been advised against due to the location of this hideous disease and I am desperate to help ease his suffering by taking a holistic approach and have been researching natural supplements to assist. These come at considerable expense and I'm seeking to help Grandad have the smallest chance of recovery. As you can imagine we are all heart broken, and knowing how Grandad is worried about my Nan I thought asking for some help would in turn enable me to give them a little cheer and reassurance at such a painful time.
It's going to be a tough Christmas, but please know any small donation you make will mean a little pressure off of this wonderful working class carpenter, who has been such a generous, honest hard worker all his life and a wonderful Grandfather.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story x

For Dad/Grandad the most unassuming, gentle and non judgemental man, an unsung hero who has never taught me how to live but by watching him I have learnt the values of love and loyalty x
