Story
If you received a link to this Just Giving page, it is because you are a friend of Helen’s and know that she is really poorly, but trying to keep strong and positive.
I'm trying to raise enough money for Helen to have a relaxing holiday abroad, soaking up the sunshine (she loves sunshine!) eating well and not having to do very much at all except hang out with her children, Micky, Daisy and Dylan. If not a holiday, then whatever she wants to spend it on to make things a bit easier.
I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make her better. I wish I had a huge excess of money to enable Helen to do the things she wants to with her family without thinking of money. I think I’m probably not the only friend/family member who thinks this.
So – that’s why I have started this. If 80 friends and family each put in £50, that's 4 grand right there. Some may be able to put in more, and some can afford perhaps £5. Any donation will be appreciated.
At the moment, this is a secret so please don't say anything. Helen may not even want to go away, or might not feel strong enough (and might kill me for doing this!) but having a sum of money to use however she wishes will take the pressure off and I think she could really do with that right now.
It's easy to donate and you can remain anonymous if you prefer, or leave her a nice message on the website - I'll be telling her sometime in June about the fundraiser, depending on how soon we hit the target.
Thank you for listening and I really hope you can get involved.
With very best wishes,
Catherine

7 years agoThank you thank you thank you for supporting Helen! Together we raised nearly £900 which will go to her in the next week so she can have a think about taking some quality time with Micky, Daisy and Dylan. She doesn't know yet how much we've raised but will probably be in touch herself when the donations hit her bank account! You are all lovely!! Xxxx

7 years agoHi folks, well the cat is out of the bag about this fund raiser, but helen found it all too much to process in the short time we spent together recently, and she hasn't looked at this page yet to see who donated etc...I'm going to carry on trying to contact other friends who haven't opened their Facebook messenger and see if we can get closer to the new target of £1000. Thank you so much for donating, much love to you, Catherine

I've known Helen since 1999, soon after moving to Sheffield and we quickly became great friends through our children who are similar ages. I moved to Brighton in 2003 but we have remained great friends. She is one special lady.
