For the past 12 years, I've grappled with relentless back pain stemming from slipped discs, diagnosed as Degenerative Disc Disease and Degenerative Spine at the age of 21. These conditions have not only inflicted excruciating pain but have also disrupted my balance, walking, and daily activities.

In the last decade, I've endured four hospitalizations, missed precious moments with family and friends, skipped social events, and missed quality time with my 2-year-old daughter. The pain has even led me to abandon my hobbies.

This Christmas, I'm seeking your support to fund a wheelchair that will not only alleviate my mobility challenges but also enable me to share the festive season with loved ones. Your contribution will be the key to unlocking those special holiday moments, connection, and togetherness that have eluded me for far too long. Join me in making this holiday season one filled with family and friends.

Now that we've incredibly reached our target to buy our new wheelchair! Thanks to all of your generosity and support:

I wanted to let you know that any additional funding above the cost of our new wheelchair will be put towards managing and fighting this painful condition. Any kindly donated extra funds will help us to book physiotherapy, buy mobility aids and to products needed for some of the complications of my condition.

I thank you all again for your kind help.
