Story
Hello beautiful people, friends, family, colleagues and light ones.
Thank you so much for your support last September, it was truly amazing the way you pulled together and we reached the target so quickly! It helped me buy pills and herbs and have treatments, appointments and blood tests and keep up to date with expensive injections and meet with natural cancer care specialists.
Now things have changed quite dramatically. The rectal tumour has grown and the spots in my lungs are a tiny bit bigger and my liver is now completely full of cancer. This is very challenging for me, my beautiful family and all of our special friends and colleagues that we have met over the years.
I have come to the end of September's donations and just instinctively feel the need to reach out again.
My diagnosis is now very poor, the hospital can't treat me any more so I am now in a palliative care hospice and both have given me weeks or months, at the maximum, before my transition to death but none of us truly know.
I would like there to be enough funds to help with my comfort during this time. To be honest I'm not completely sure how the money will be spent but I like the idea of taking my children away for a weekend, having the funds for solicitors, a burial in the woods and to just provide an overall sense of security and support which will underlie the pain, joy, trauma and love which are apart of our everyday experiences now.
(I'm trusting my inner-self to put this out into the universe, reaching out to all of you that have added colour, beauty and love in my life. Please take a moment to feel whether giving now is something that feels right for you).
Thank you for helping me with this target.
I am blessed and loved by your contributions and offerings.
Thank you so much for whatever amount you can donate.
Much Love,
Donna xxx

6 years agoI talked to a friend today and realised what I am doing is working out to have LIVE as joyfully and happily as possible before I die, so lunches out, walks out in the countryside in my wheelchair, trips to Leeds castle going out on the lake in a boat that takes wheelchairs, trips to the seaside in a camper van for a night or two! Visits and catch up with friends...etc etc I am excited to be able to fill this time with such joy and connection. Thank you for your love, memories, and generosity. Love Donna. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

6 years agoHi lovely people. I made it home Friday night from the hospice. I am in a lot less pain and although I am still having to rest a lot in bed I have had lots of time to talk and hang out with our 4 beautiful teenagers. They are all so different! What a joy that has brought me! X (See part two in the next update).
