A helping hand for Bob
Donation protected
Hi everyone, many of you know me as Kelly’s mum Claire. Bob and Kelly don’t know I am doing this as they would be embarrassed if they knew as many of you know they’re proud people.
As many of you will know Bob has unfortunately been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer with a life expectancy of 1-2 months. We as a family are all devastated including all the many students and friends bob has made and taught over the last 25 years.
Bob & Kelly have worked so hard and given every last bit of themselves to keep the studio running especially during the covid period.
Unfortunately, Bob has not been working the last few months and his health is deteriorating week by week. Kelly has now significantly reduced her hours to care for bob and prepare for the worst that will be coming in the next couple months.
I know Kelly is too proud to tell me but I know they’re struggling financially with they’re reduced income. They have a lot of things to worry about including keeping the studio running, they have rehomed all their pets which is heartbreaking and everything else that comes with a terminal diagnosis.
one thing I would hate for them both to worry about is financials I know they both are putting they’re all in to keep the studio running for the future.
we would like to give Bob a send off he deserves and I don’t want Kelly to stress about how this would be funded. We want to make his celebration of life as special as possible for all those who know and love bob.
Any size donation counts even if it’s pounds or pennies we know this is an expensive time for everyone but anything you could spare would be a great help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this I know Bob and Kelly will want to thank all of those who have supported them over the years when they find out I’ve done this
Thank you from the bottom of hearts
From all of our family to yours
