Time to build

Morning everyone, today’s nomination is for a builder who grafts round the clock to provide for his family and is always helping elderly neighbours in his spare time however that spare time is ever more scant as his poor wife has a condition that’s absolute agony and in spite of two life endangering operations to help what is brutally called “suicide disease” because of the pain there still appears to be no respite. 


It’s called Trigeminal Neuralgia and you can find out more about it here: https://arizonapain.com/trigeminal-neuralgia-suicide-disease/

As ***** has to take more time to look after his wife there’s a chance he might lose his work van as he’s self employed and, it’s of course vital to his livelihood. They also have a young grandchild that they’d both very much like to make some memories with.


This is the message we received when we were able to let them know of our wanting to help. 


Hey! I hope you’re well! ***** has just come home and told me what you have done. I honestly don’t know what to say, completely blown away by all of your thoughtfulness and generosity! It honestly means the world to me that you have thought of us at all when there are other people that need it far more. I can not thank this group enough, I can now go on our first little holiday for ***** and not have to worry that I have to tell her Nannan can’t buy her something she wants as I don’t have the money. It means so much and thank you so so much, I’ll make sure I get some photos for you! Thank you so much again! Lots of love *** xxx


I’m delighted we can help this lovely family who have been through so much make memories and hopefully provide some respite from the cruelty of their situation. As always, if you know of anyone that needs a hand then please let us know. 


Loads of love from your admin team x
