Help Drew Keep His Independence

Hi, I'm Becky and I'm fundraising for my best friend Drew.

Drew is one of the nicest, caring guys anyone could ever wish to meet. We've been friends for over 24 years and he's always there for everyone.

Drew has been type 1 diabetic and insulin dependant since he was 6 years old. Unfortunately diabetes can lead to other illnesses and Drew has been hit by most.

He has suffered kidney failure which meant he needed dialysis to keep him alive until he received a transplant and he suffers from retinopathy which has resulted in him losing 70% of his sight. 4 weeks ago he had his second leg amputation which means he is now a double amputee!! This is the most life altering thing he has had to face so far. Thankfully he already lives in a partially adapted bungalow but he needs more adaptations now. There are alterations needed to be made to accommodate the fact he can no longer stand independently. He needs handrails, changes to his kitchen, new shower facilities, new flooring, as well as new lighting as he struggles to find his way around his own house now. In addition to this he needs more professional care and safety systems as well as a new mobility chair/scooter.

At only 51 it is important that Drew can remain living independently in his own home. So I have set up this page in the hope that we can raise a bit of money to go towards some of these crucial things to help Drew maintain his independence and adjust to his new way of life and carry on living!
