Help Us Raise Money To Buy A Home

I am a single parent to two children aged 11 and 6, and we have lived happily and comfortably for years in a small village where I was also a primary school teacher.

Unfortunately, over the past few years my health has deteriorated to the point where I was no longer able to work, and just before Easter I was let go from my job. I have had, fought and beaten bowel cancer, been through chemo and multiple surgeries, and complications of those treatments led to issues with my gallbladder and led to pancreatitis; and then I found a lump in my chest and was diagnosed with a non-metastatic soft tissue sarcoma that is the equivalent of Japanese knotweed growing in my chest - just recently they found a second tumour and all attempts to get rid of it so far have failed. Pain comes and goes, but the main impact it has had on my life is that anxiety and depression have really got their claws into me - I try to stay strong for my children, but I am only human and living with this condition is horrific.

We currently rent a beautiful house that I am no longer able to afford, and by the time my lease runs out in September, I will have no savings left and we will be homeless. I have offers to crash on sofas because I have the loveliest family and friends, but my children deserve stability (my oldest has Autism and struggles with change) and social housing in our area is notoriously unreliable.

I am hoping to raise enough money to buy a caravan or park home close by; it won't be much, but it will be ours and nobody can take it away from us, and that is what matters to me. All we need is to be safe, and to be together.



Please consider donating whatever you can - I realise times are hard for everyone, and anyone who knows me at all knows how difficult I find it to ask for help; but with encouragement from my family, friends and the fandom I adore so much, I am making this crowdfunder in the hopes that I can save my children from being subjected to an uncertain future. I can take whatever the world throws at me, take the hits as they come, but I'll do anything to protect them from more sadness and disappointment. They've been through so much.

Every little helps. Please give anything you can - there is no amount so small that it won't make a difference to us.

Thank you for reading.
