Weʼve raised £13,885 to help build a bedroom because it is not safe for our two disabled children to keep sharing.
- Funded on Wednesday, 6th November 2019

Story
We have 3 lovely boys: Finn, Euan and Joel. They are beautiful, but life is 'interesting' because Finn has severe Special Educational Needs, and Joel has a rare chromosome disorder (16p11.2 microdeletion) which causes learning difficulties, autism and eating problems. Currently Finn and Joel have to share a bedroom, but this is no longer safe due to Finn's lack of understanding. Our other boy, Euan, cannot share a bedroom because he has hideous chronic migraines which are managed by having enough sleep (his brothers are disruptive in the night). Creating an extra bedroom would let each boy be safe and get essential sleep. Brilliantly, we have been awarded a Disability Facilities Grant by the Council to fund a new bedroom, but we're £13,000 short of the total building cost. We have been turned down by the bank for a loan or increase in our mortgage. Please help if you feel able. Thank you so very much. Best wishes, Martin and Lynda.
