Bring Alice Home

I've started this fundraiser on behalf of my partner Alice Hetherton, formerly of Oldcastle Co Meath. Alice is 63 years old, she has worked all her life caring for others as a care worker in hospitals and nursing homes across the UK and Ireland.

Ironically Alice finds herself now in need of the support she has given to others.

In May 2023 Alice suffered a bleed on the brain and an aneurysm.

Beaumont Hospital performed neurosurgery to stop the bleed and equally deal with the aneurysm. The Surgeon noted it was one of the worse cases he had seen.

Alice has been in rehabilitation for the past two years. Her mobility is very restricted and she will require continued home supports and therapies. Alice is frustrated that the care she is currently receiving in a nursing home could equally be carried out at home.

Mentally Alice is very aware but she requires round the clock care and all she wants is to be able to come home. We are fundraising as Alice's home will need to be extensively adapted to accommodate her disabilities. Accessible access, wetroom, ground floor bedroom, hoist system etc to DOC2 standard in order to make a successful transition home where she belongs.
