One less worry

Fundraising campaign by Nola Kinnear

As we all are probably aware, Neady is going to have a tough few months ahead of her but is being super brave and ready to get on with it. She starts her chemo mid July and in preparation would like to get a wig as she intends to work from mid August after her first round of chemo. It would be lovely if she could get a realistic wig (much more expensive than you would ever think) so that when she is at clients meetings etc she won’t be self conscious, can feel as normal as possible and can have as much confidence to carry on as well as she can over the months ahead. There are other things that also come with a price once you have cancer so it would be lovely if we could all just help a little but to ease the burden so that Ben and her have one less thing to worry about.

Thank you from Sinead

Hello everyone,

Ben and I were utterly blown away by the Go Fund Me page that was set up by Nola. Firstly that she would think to do something so practically helpful but in such a discreet and sensitive way. True friendship.

Now we must thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so generous. Money is tight for everyone these days so the donations are unbelievably appreciated. This injection of cash has come at such a crucial time. We fall between the cracks on this cancer journey of mine. My new job couldn't pay me beyond this month as it is a startup and I was only there three weeks. They’ve been super generous but it has to stop.
As we are both earning and on paper look like we should be ok, I don’t qualify for any benefits. Statutory sick pay is very small.
And the reality is like many of us every penny is allocated to our children and simply living. My salary is very missed and to have this money to give me a few more months for my body, mind and heart to heal is such a blessing. What you’ve given me is more time to focus on recovery and that’s the greatest gift for us at the moment.

I’d love to blow it on a massive party but that will come and you gorgeous people will all be invited!!

Loads of love,
Sinead, Ben, Bo and the boys xx
