For Katie x

Joe Sims

Hello lovely kind group, 

It’s amazing that in the deepest darkest week of January we get the most powerful nomination from first time nominee, Annie. We had to act immediately, we hope our help does bring some joy and respite to Katie, her husband and the dog and we send much love. 


Here’s the nomination:



Thank you for all you do with 500 reasons, its a pure and incredible thing to be part of, and so meaningful to see the nominations and what a difference it can make to people going through difficulties, without them being forced to jump through hoops.



I’ve not nominated anyone before but would very much like to now.



She’s a young woman called Katie, she works at a Stroud based Beauty Salon, and I’ve known her a number of years. Heartbreakingly, she’s been recently given a terminal cancer diagnosis. She’s about to have her third round of chemotherapy, and if there’s a sign of improvement, they plan to operate. All in the hope of extending her life.  Because her disease is so rare she has to go up to Birmingham for all her treatments, and her husband has to pay to stay in a Hotel to support her (they only married recently)  She is unable to work of course and He  is only working part time at the moment but his company are saying that is not feasible and may have to stop. They have a mortgage, bills and even a dog on daily medication for seizures. 



Katie is the kindest, sweetest young woman, always smiling, happy and caring. I believe she is being incredibly stoic about what is happening. 



I would love her and her husband to have a helping hand to help with their ever mounting bills, or just have the opportunity to have a break somewhere rejuvenating for them both.



I’ve checked with the Salon’s owner (all that work there are very close to each other) the appropriateness of me doing this and she thought it a wonderful idea that she knew would bring such joy. She is going to mention it to Katie as a possibility to make sure she was happy about it. 



Hope Katie can be considered and if you could let me know if you need more information, if she has been accepted and how we proceed. 



With best wishes 


Annie (and Peter) Fallows
