Help to get a bed for BMD husband and his wife

$1,165 donated
Given by 17 generous donors in one year

To purchase bed and bedding for both of us to sleep in the same bed peacefully.

Marlborough

My husband and I have been married for 10 years in December and have been sleeping in separate beds for half that time as he requires a hospital bed. My husband has Becker's Muscular Dystrophy that wastes away his muscles and nerves causing health issues, sleep problems and pain. During that time we have gotten rid of our queen's size bed for more space and I have either been sleeping in a single bed close to our bedroom window or our couch in the lounge. We have found a bed at Harvey Norman that would enable us to be back in the same bed and help with pain and relaxation through adjustable functions, a zero gravity option that improves blood circulation and vibration for muscle relaxation. It is usually $11,000 and at the moment they have a floor model that is $7,000. I have tried to get it on finance but was declined. This bed would be life changing for us both physically, mentally and emotionally.

Use of funds

To purchase bed, delivery, installation and bedding. Any remaining funds will be donated to another give a little cause.

We have our bed  21 September 2018

Thanks to everyone and with help from the bank we have our bed! We still have a lot to pay to the bank but well worth it. Both my husband and I feel closer and less depressed going to bed from being previously in separate beds and my husband is actually sleeping more and going to bed earlier. It is truly life changing for our family 😊
