    Hello! Fancy meeting you here! 😊

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to help my family. I sincerely appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart.

    My goal is to leave the boys with financial stability for a few years to come. Originally when I began writing down my dreams when I was terminally diagnosed, I wanted to reach $250k. However, I have this give-a-little page as an open ended goal, because every donation is a gift from you to us, and I have no expectation, just gratitude. It doesn’t matter if you donate $5 or $5000, or even if you just share a post instead of donating financially. I appreciate all the support and love that is shown to our family on a daily basis. There really are beautiful souls in our community, and I’m so blessed to have you in mine.

    My health has been average-good over the last few weeks, and we have had many adventures thanks to Race4Life and SendALittleSmile. There have been a few rough days, but mostly my body has been behaving (thank goodness!)

    My testimony has been utilised by Cranford Hospice during their funding drive, and they raised 7x the amount they usually would! I’m so thrilled that an incredible service has been shown financial support (especially after covid!) to keep their services running. Seeing the generosity of people not only with the Cranford fundraiser, but this give-a-little page has renewed my faith in community spirit and humankind.

    Nathaniel and Julius mean everything to me, and I appreciate your supporting me to make sure they are ok in years to come when I’m not here. Every donation warms my heart and gives me more peace of mind. Thank you 🙏💖

    I hope this update finds you well, smiling, and enjoying your week so far. Just remember ~ it’s all about perspective. Keep looking for the beauty in your day, no matter how big or small. It’s the first step to true happiness. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

  • Another upcoming surgery.

      21 May 2020

    Thank you so much for your donation. My heart has been warmed by peoples be generosity and support <3

    I’ve been having quite a lot of groin/tummy pain over the last couple of weeks, so my incredible Cranford Hospice Doctor sent me in to hospital for a scan.

    The scan revealed a few things:

    1) My bowel stent that was put in January is still missing (they’ve started calling me a magician)

    2) There’s no big blockage of my bowel even though it hasn’t had any action for 10 days

    3) The blood clot that I have been doing daily tummy injections for seems to have helped the clot regress slightly

    4) My urinary tract/kidney stent has slightly migrated, so this will be what’s causing the pain over the last 2 weeks.

    The plan is to head into Hastings Hospital on my favourite Dr Masons ‘on call’ day acutely and get the surgery done that way rather than waiting until the end of June.

    Possibly next week will be that mission, but I’ll just see how the pain levels go and listen to my body along the way.

    As I mentioned at the beginning, I really appreciate all the donations, in all their sizes. They add up to providing a beautiful financial security for the future of my gorgeous family, which is one less thing for me to stress about whilst I’m trying to manage this ‘staying alive’ thing.

    Sending you so much love, whatever you are doing with your day today. I wish you some sparkle, and hope you have a big smile, just like I will <3

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
