Would like too take my mother too the beach for just one day so she can feel the water, sand and grass one more time !!!

Nationwide

Hello, I'm just trying to do what i can to help as a supporter/carer/family member/daughter, you can at times feel very useless so this is a little about me and my story.. This awful terminal disease has hit my home, my heart, and my life and it's not even me who has it.. My Mum got diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease about 5 years ago, I have only 1 important person in my life and my Mum is it she is my Hero and i'm not afraid to say it. Nothing is a problem when she asks for my help i love my Mum and would do anything for her. It has taken her arms and the usage in her legs,she can barley speak her speech is slurred and slow and then next she won't be able too breathe but still makes the most of what she's got. She's a solider <3

It's just me & my mother, we live in a nice place out of town. I am her full time caregiver with the help of 3 other carers when needed. We do find it hard, an struggle too cope with the disease but as well as normal day too day things as bills, food and the essentials. We are both just living of the support from the government, isn't much but enough too stay content. It's so much work, and it's hard physically, mentally and emotionally but you wanna do what's best and what can help most . It is a horrible disease and i wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. Mum use to be fit an a very hard worker and she was bloody good at it! Big lady with a heart of gold, this is by far not something she deserves and as quoted by the specialist "it's just bad luck". I'm doing this for her and also for all the other families and everyone else out there that this disease has affected, but selfishly more so for my Mum. My family and I waited and waited to find out the result of what was happening to my mum, We finally got told the news that she was diagnosed with motor neurone disease - Our whole world fell apart :( most people have never heard of what this is and what it does to certain peoples bodys. Mnd is muscle wasting disease where the nerve cells control the muscles of the body leaving some people not able to move, speak, breathe or swallow. MND does not affect the human body senses they are still able to see, hear, smell, touch and taste. Around 5 people are diagnosed with MND everyday! Motor Neurone Disease can strike anyone and anytime and between 5% to 10% are hereditary. My Mum was diagnosed about 5 years ago, but the timeline of how long any MND sufferer should live is 3 years but no my mum is still alive and is shocking everyone with who she is today and what she's doing. My mother doesn’t get too live her life or just do the daily things, she’s prisoner in her own body stuck mentally hurting.. i would like too raise enough to afford a lil Getaway Too the BEACH for my mother, as everyday she sits in her chair 24-7 not able too walk somewhere, talk too somebody or experience new things! She just sits there each day as everything passes by, and it's not fair it's not easy it's not cheap but we can make something happen if we all put love in & I would like too work more too help bring awareness too this cause, so the community can help make more organisations/fun-runs/events too support the disability community and too envole them more in such things that isn't as easy for them to do these days. People with disabilities get left out and left behind quite a lot, and it's sad because they didn't ask for this journey.. So all the support and love means a lot and can just go so far and make the change we need :)

She may not be able to do much but as a human being but her presence is the only thing family could ever ask for. It's been a long journey for her pushing through this which is the hardest thing she's ever gone though. As a daughter who loves her mum I try my best to help out as much as I can. Noone should ever have to go through things like this alone. Spend as much time as you can with your loved ones and appreciate their presence. Because one day they may not be there.. Life is so precious and everyone should value it as much as they can. To this day I am still spending time with the mum I will always love and treasure xx I LOVE YOU MUM
