If you want to join me in work surrounded by 1000 teenagers in Salford…

Do you know what…not a bad shout…

It’s just the intent, the want to help - the thought process. It’s blown my mind. As I’ve said in another post…to all involved, you’re all welcome if you’re ever passing. I cannot express enough gratitude.

To everyone involved, I’m baffled. I have to make a really clear point - we’re not destitute hand out folk at all - really not. This is an odd scenario for me and I’m rubbish at accepting help and knowing what to do with it. As a family we’ve always persevered and somehow managed where we’re at… I know this is not unique, I know all of you have lives, trials and tribulations. So I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Jenny is knocked out by this - sends her love and thanks. But we have been sold a “dream” and hung onto it for over 4 years - the reality is, Iris manages most tasks, but has zero independence because I have to carry her upstairs or monitor her climbing (she’s able to do this, but has a very fragile head due to Hydrocephalus so it’s risky) - she cannot get herself onto a toilet etc, so she has to be in Pull ups which she’s now becoming embarrassed about. We could’ve moved house - but they assured us they could adapt ours with an extension with a lift, sort of a mini house for iris. I cannot put enough words into this. I’m stunned. @Clarky you are a bloody great person.

Just gathering myself a minute

Wow…

I’ll need a lie down…

@tredders @TorturedSaints 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ha - loopholed that old “like” button thing

Walk this way…

We did a charity walk for a family who’s child has similar condition to Iris - their local council wouldn’t provide a wheelchair for their kid. The chair was £650, think we got them £2000 in the end. For Iris’ ward at RMCH we did another thing - that went on until we donated/closed. think that was £1200.

Bloomin Nora…

You’re all absolutely gorgeous people.
