Hello,
I am not Mother Teresa, and I have not found a cure for cancer!

But like a lot of people, 2016 was a pretty shit year for me (with one major benefit). The crappy parts where that I was made redundant in July 2016 and my closest sister died in September after 5 years in a hospice in an unresponsive state. No matter how much you expect it , it is still a great loss when your sister of 52 dies far before her time, especially when her disabled son died the year before without finishing 6th form college. I have also been unwell for most of 2016, which is the reason that I was made redundant. As well as sever depression, I also had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis , major joint pain , lethargy and I was pre-diabetic. After my redundancy, rather than use up precious NHS resources I used my own money to have a gastric bypass, since which, even though I am now on 10% of the medication I was on before, saving the NHS £1000's I don't receive much support from them, indeed they do not even provide the necessary vitamins and minerals that I need to survive as I can no longer get them from my limited diet.

I am starting to feel better, but really need help in getting a new career started.

To be honest, I want a bit of a break, I want to go to Berlin, and have a few days to enjoy myself, then when I come back I want to start a new business specialising in Men's grooming, www.massageandmore4men.co.uk I have started the website but need to get it off the ground. Men's grooming is a growing market in the UK and I am confident with a bit of help I can make it a success.

This is where I ask for your help. I am no more deserving than the thousands of people on here, all of which have a worthy cause. But at 46 years old and after a pretty shit time, I can guarantee you that I will put your money to good use and hopefully when I build up my new career, I will be able to pay my taxes and donate to charities and worthy causes such as this
