I'm raising £1,500 for a health/medical cause

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few years ago, I went through a serious health crisis, a brain aneurysm rupture that nearly took my life. I spent many hours in hospital and underwent two long, seven-hour operations. At the time, I didn’t ask for help or accept it and I do regret that now. So many people offered, and it upset them that they couldn’t help in a practical way. That has stayed with me.

Devastatingly, in October I received a diagnosis that cannot be fixed with an operation at this time. My doctors are very clear: I need to slow down, take life a bit easier, and focus on reducing stress so my body can stay as healthy as possible.

Life has changed in many ways since my first health crisis, I’ve been navigating life after divorce as well as trying to regain a normality health wise, with a smaller support network than before, and my stubbornness often leads me to take on too much. All of this makes it even more important that I give myself the space to rest, recover, and be fully present with my children.

I’d love to continue creating and making, as that is such a big part of who I am, but right now, practically, I just can’t manage it.

I’ve set up this page to help ease the financial pressure while I take this time responsibly. I want to be clear, this isn’t me giving up. I will get through this… again. I just need a little pause to catch my breath.

Any support, whether donating, sharing, or even sending a kind message means the world to me. Thank you for being here and for being part of my little online family 🤍

Forever smiling .. regardless ❤️
