Story
Hello, my name is Peter Knight-Quigley. I'm reaching out to share my personal journey and seek your support as I prepare for a life-changing surgery.
Your kindness can help me move forward without the burden of debt and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling life.
From a young age, I faced health challenges, including childhood asthma that limited my physical activity. As I grew older, I encountered mental health issues and struggled with weight gain, which impacted my self-esteem and daily life.
In 2016, after years of battling these issues, I made the courageous decision to follow a medical pathway to having bariatric surgery. Following numerous hospital appointments and consultations, the procedure came in March 2020 and marked the beginning of a transformative journey; which in itself has not been easy.
But overall the procedure has successfully helped me reduce my weight from 26 stone to 13 stone and lower, significantly improving my health and well-being.
However, this significant weight loss has left me with excess skin and uncovered at least one hernia, both of which require surgical intervention.
The upcoming reconstructive surgery is essential for my physical and mental health.
Why I Need Your Help:
While the surgery is a critical step forward, it comes with financial challenges. I will need to take a 12-week hiatus from work during recovery, and the associated costs with this are overwhelming.
Your donation will help me:
Cover living expenses during my recovery period.
Replace my wardrobe to fit my new body.
Pursue further musical tuition and learn to swim properly.
How You Can Make a Difference???
I'm seeking to raise £50,000 through 25,000 kind-hearted individuals each donating £2. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to a debt-free recovery and a brighter future.
I am deeply grateful for your time and support.
Your generosity will not only aid in my physical healing but also go someway in restoring my confidence and hope. Please consider sharing my story with others who might be willing to help.
With heartfelt thanks,
Peter Knight-Quigley
