Story
Hello to whoever is taking the time to read this, I'm Helen and I'm trying to raise some cash to sort out my best friends garden, Gemma is a single parent and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis over a year ago and in that time life has been a rollercoaster for Gemma and her 2 children and I suppose me as well,
Gemma is one of the nicest people I know and would do anything possible to help someone if she could and I just think it would be lovely to give a bit back! Gemma's garden is in a mess like majorly, I've been sweeping and my children have been stacking up bits of bricks and rubbish but there's only so much I/we can do. I feel it's important that Gemma has a nice and safe garden for the herself and the children as during relapses and Gemma's bad days the children spend a lot of time playing in the garden as Gemma is unable to do anything else really, Daisy aged 6. And Mikey aged 4 have a trampoline and a slide that they are constantly using but the garden is in desperate need of repair, there was quite a lot of trees in Gemma's garden that took up loads of room and blocked the sunlight from coming into it and luckily the council have now removed them freeing up loads of space which is fabulous! I just thought if I set up a fundraising page then hopefully we would raise even enough for some gravel to putdown for the children. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

we are not wanting to do anything fancy just would really like to be able to gravel the whole area I personally think this would be the best way as it's the cheapest option plus no maintenance is needed.
