Story
We are rallying together to support our dear friend Rick, who has been diagnosed with a rare and challenging case of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Our goal is to raise £2,000 to purchase a Laerdal Suction Unit — a vital, portable medical device that safely clears the airway by removing fluids such as saliva, mucus, blood, and vomit. This machine is essential for helping Rick breathe properly and avoid life-threatening emergencies.
Currently, the suction unit in use is on loan from the hospital but frequently breaks down. Each failure forces urgent trips to A&E, causing immense stress and risk. Unfortunately, the hospital lacks the funds to replace this critical equipment and can only send technicians for repairs. Without this machine functioning reliably at home, Rick's health and comfort are severely compromised.
We urgently need to secure a personal Laerdal Suction Unit so that Rick can breathe safely without constant hospital visits. Your generous donation will directly fund this lifesaving device and bring peace of mind to both our dear friend and his family.
Thank you for visiting our page — donating through JustGiving is quick, secure, and simple. Every contribution counts in making this urgent need a reality. Thank you.
