Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

2018/19 saw a really busy year with HCPT and Across and I was able to travel with the adults  and children who needed respite, care and. to  travel to Lourdes.

2019/20 is even busier with Nurses needed for groups going out from April to October. We desperately need nurses to travel and so I will be doing two trips with adults on the jumbulance this year and a week with HCPT and the children at Easter. 

I know many of you have given before and I am so grateful. The need has never been greater with more VIPs needing to travel but often not enough nurses to take them. 

Our wonderful drivers have kept the Jumbulance getting through every single week in the season. 

Please help us keep doing this work it's so important. I know there are demands on your money from every direction. These VIPs can not travel any other way and with out Across, they would not be able to have this wonderful respite opportunity.

Although it's physically exhausting last time, I have never had so much fun. Our Very ill People (VIPS) are so special and give so much more back to the nurses caring for them then ever we could give them :-). I will do all the hard work for you if you just offer a prayer and a little money 😄

it costs over £1000 per ViP to get them there and care for them, so every penny I raise makes life better for one of them. As nurses we also pay for ourselves and give our time for free so nothing is taken from the resources used to care for our VIPs.

Thank you for constantly supporting me and Across when times are so hard for all. God Bless and if you donate money or prayers for us we will remember you when we are there.

If you can't donate keep us in your thoughts and prayers we are grateful for all your help.
