Nigel, Sarah and Mia

Hi, my name is James, I am raising money for my colleague and dear friend Sarah Jones, whose husband Nigel is currently very unwell.

Ultimately Nigel (like many others) needs a Kidney for which he is on a waiting list. It has been a very long journey, but recent hopes of PD dialysis did not work because he would need more surgery after finding a leak in his front tummy area causing him to have to have Haemodialysis, and now traveling to the hospital 3 times a week. Hope is of course not lost .... but he was rushed back into A&E again today and things are extremely tough for them as a family right now.

In addition to all of the obvious worries and stress, Nigel has been unable to work for almost 2 years, he has totally lost his income, so to compensate Sarah has been doing three jobs, trying to keep the family together financially, emotionally, and logistically.

Sarah is strong and I know she, Mia and Nigel will get through this, but my heart broke today to hear that on top of everything else, Sarah fears they may have to sell their home to get through this.

I know life is hard for everyone at the moment, but if you can find a way to donate and between us we can raise enough to help pay their mortgage this month (or maybe for the next 2 or 3 months) ... it might be the difference between them keeping their home.

Oh and if you have a space Kidney, now would be a great time to put your hand up!

I have known Sarah for the last 9 years, she is my Early Stages Teacher at Stagecoach Performing Arts in Faringdon and is a very loyal, caring, and loving friend to me and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to consider a donation
