Hi there, My name is Amy and I am trying to raise funds to help save my amazing Mum Rowena. Rowena Fuller is my hero, but not just mine, she is a bright shining beacon of hope, kindness and support to so many!
She has been an incredible foster mother and raised all of her fosters to be wonderful young men and women, an amazing fundraiser and supporter for the Winnie Mabaso Foundation in South Africa and most recently during the COVID19 crisis, she set up a feeding station in Goa, India to feed 65 men, women and children who would have otherwise starved to death because most were migrant workers and the lockdown left them without work and cut off from their homes and families!! My mother worked tirelessly to, attempt to feed them herself out of her own pocket and then she went on to raise awareness, funds and organised a COVID approved restaurant to cook and supply one nutritious meal to each of those in need over a period of many weeks in what she called her 'Starfish' programme. She took care of them until they were allowed to return safely to their homes
Not everyone appreciated what she did and some accused her of self aggrandisement! Of making herself out to be some sort of Saint!! This couldn't be further from the truth! The is the most selfless person you could ever meet and she will always gladly go without to help another!! These accusations hurt her deeply and she lost all appetite for food a week before she was rushed into hospital.
Sadly her being so weak did nothing to prevent a steep decline in her health which has lead to her fighting for her life! She has necrotizing fasciitis, pneumonia and is bleeding internally!! She is breathing with the help of a ventilator and is non responsive. The only way for her to get the treatment she needs is to be in the nearest private hospital and the bills are mounting up! My poor father, aged 77 is at his wits end as they are demanding payment before they go ahead with any further treatment!!
Please, please find it in your hearts to help save this beautiful soul and let her keep doing what she does best, helping others! ❤❤❤ Every donation, no matter how small is helping her in her battle to stay alive!
