In Loving Memory of Our Mum – Supporting Headway UK

"Fate is in God’s hands. We can plan all we like, but what is written, will be."

These were the words our beloved mum lived by—a woman of deep faith, compassion, and unconditional love. She carried everyone’s worries in her heart, whether she’d known them for decades or just shared a story with them that day. She always prayed for others before thinking of herself.

Tragically, our mum was taken from us far too soon. On a road she had safely crossed for over 30 years—walking her grandchildren to and from school—she was struck by a pick-up truck just 650 metres from her front door.

Her injuries were catastrophic. Doctors gave us just 24–48 hours after surgery. She was 65 and had barely seen the inside of a hospital in over three decades. But she was a warrior. She came out of a coma, overcame infections, and defied every medical expectation—fighting every single day, not for herself, but for us.

Thirty days post-accident, she was diagnosed in a vegetative state due to the severity of her brain injuries. Still, she gave our family the time to say goodbye, just as she had always put everyone before herself. On Friday, 20th June, 40 days after the accident, Mum passed away peacefully, holding our father’s hand.

We are heartbroken—but we want to honour her the way she lived: selfless by helping others first.

That’s why we are raising money for Headway – the brain injury association, a UK-wide charity supporting individuals and families affected by brain injuries. They offer vital information, services, and emotional support at a time when it’s needed most—something we now understand deeply.

💙 Instead of flowers or gifts, we kindly ask that you consider donating to Headway in Mum’s memory.

Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK sustains a brain injury. Your donation—however small—can make a life-changing difference.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your kindness. Our mum would be so proud to see her legacy help others in need.

We love you, Mum. Your light and strength will never fade.
