Clare Willmott-stroke rehabilitation & renovations
Donation protected
"If you want something urgent done, ask a busy person to do it" We've all heard that saying.
Clare Willmott is that busy person who never says no and accepts each new challenge with her radiant smile.
Whether it's raising funds for the school, organising activities for the PTA, contributing to the Chattertots charity, being an ambassador for Makaton and teaching this sign language to hundreds of children & adults, running her own SEO and web design business, or being a devoted Mum to Harry (7) & Jake (5) and wife to Dave. Clare’s generosity is boundless, her energy limitless, her resourcefulness astounding, her heart immense and her ability to say 'sorry, I can't help you' non existent! In addition, gorgeous Jake has Down’s syndrome and requires one-to-one care with numerous regular appointments which have largely dictated Clare’s day-to-day priorities.
On the 25th January 2020 at just 42 years of age, Clare suffered a devastating stroke, and major cardiac arrest just 48 hours later whilst in the Stroke Unit at High Wycombe General Hospital. Two bolts out of the blue which have brought her world crashing down and that of all those who rely on her love, support, encouragement, energy & friendship.
Clare remains at High Wycombe and whilst improving a little each day, she has no movement on her left side. The coming weeks will see her moved to another specialist unit for further rehabilitation and we are all hoping that she will be well-enough to return home in one to two months.
Why are we asking for your help?
The Willmott's modest family home which Dave had started renovating will need to be adapted. The ground floor will have to be modified and significantly expanded to encompass rooms specifically to cater for Clare’s needs with appropriate facilities.
The Willmott family need to stay fully focused on Clare's rehabilitation, and without the worries of monthly bills, Jake’s extra needs, how to pay the mortgage or how to fund the essential adapting of their family home. Any small amount you can spare would really help, along with the sharing of Clare's story and this page. We can’t express enough how grateful we’d be to each of you.
Everyone we know wants to help. Although we know that Dave can do this on his own, we can help them all with this page, which will allow you to feel like you can contribute to getting Clare back on her feet. Her boys all need her home!
