As some of you will be aware, Charlotte had an accident on 12th October where she has severely broken her right arm. As a result of the accident she requires surgery and will therefore be out of work for many months.
The festive period, Halloween, Christmas and New Year, is where Charlotte has the most work booked in and the earnings from this period is then used to fund the following quiet work months of January/February/March, where generally performance work tends to completely drop off.
As friends of Charlotte, I'm sure you will all be saddened to hear what she is going through and looking to support her at this challenging time. Charlotte is self employed and therefore won't receive any sick pay or payout from insurance.
The crowd funder has been set up to allow anyone who knows and loves Charlotte the opportunity to help in a practical way, by offering financial support with the cost of living during the following months of her healing. This will include rent, bills, travel costs (she can't drive) and general cost of living.
We don't want to make this a public crowd funder, so please if this could be kept off public social media and shared via private Facebook groups and WhatsApp etc.
Anything given, however small, will be greatly appreciated. Being self employed in the current cost of living crisis is already a huge stress, so this should hopefully take some of the pressure off for her so she can rest, heal and get back on her feet.
