UPDATE ON 07.05.20 - PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE TO DONATE TO THIS PAGE AS NO FURTHER FUNDS ARE NEEDED. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS.
We urgently need your support to ensure Spencer receives the help he so desperately needs. For those of you who know Spencer, you will appreciate how loving, kind and full of life he is - unfortunately, that is not the current picture. He is in a state of deep depression, anxiety and paranoia, which is heart-breaking to witness.
For a number of years now Spencer has been struggling with his mental health, having been diagnosed with bipolar a few years ago, while also grappling with other dependencies. He is living in a state of depravity. The situation has now reached crisis point. We can no longer rely on the tireless efforts of his family & friends to keep him safe and sadly the under-resourced NHS is also at breaking point. Spencer has already attempted to take his own life on more than one occasion and we're not prepared to sit back and watch this happen again.
We want to enter Spencer into a programme of rehabilitation, which will address the issues behind his current state of mind. We have successfully secured him a place at Steps Together Rehab in the Midlands which has been highly recommended following an assessment at an affiliated centre in Bournemouth. It is a residential rehabilitation centre, offering round-the-clock care and a variety of therapies and activities to help Spencer tackle his demons. It costs £8,000 for the first three weeks at the centre, which compared to a number of other options is actually very reasonable. This would be a lifeline for Spencer right now, but what he really needs is a longer stay either at this centre or an alternative facility (hence the £25k target, which would cover 6 months of treatment). This would really have a profound impact on his life.
Please help us raise these funds to help Spencer get the help he desperately needs. Spencer’s family have supported him financially numerous times over the past few years and unfortunately, they do not have a never-ending supply of money. Together we can change a life. Thanks so much for your generosity.
