Marion boat has had some ongoing engine issues for the last two years and it has transpired that it is beyond repair. She is now with a dismantled engine and a heavy boat she can't move.

She has been told that the only option is a new engine. She is not currently earning much as an artist. .

She's already had a warning from the CRT and license reduction.

She's really distraught and doesn't know what to do.

She currently doesn't know that I'm doing this and it would be a nice surprise to see that she has good friends around her. Those of you that know her know that she often goes out of her way selflessy to care for her friends and is some one with a really good heart and is really supportive of everyone in her community.

I've worked out that if 500 of her friends pay a tenner or 250 of her friends give £20 we can easily raise this

If we can help her with this I know it will be really appreciated and she would put that energy back into the world when she can
