Hi there. Many who know me will be aware that I have been put in this unfortunate position. Those who aren't that close please know that this is a last resort and I would be no means feel the need to ask for help as a proud man who enjoys working in order to provide for my little family.

I recently had to undergo an appendectomy which revealed a condition called "low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) an operable form of cancer.

In order to remove this i would need to spend 10 days in hospital and the recovery can be up to 8 weeks. As a self employed man in the current economic climate it doesn't take much to work out I'm up sh*t creek without a paddle!

My personal and business bills combined are a whopping 4,200 per calender month so to take this time off for recovery is crippling.

Any savings I've accumulated have been eaten up by HMRC over the years.

I have set a target of 8,500 which is probably very unrealistic but I would wholeheartedly appreciate ANY donations as it'll mean borrowing less from a greedy banker at a huge rate of interest

In my 44 years I've never had to reach out like this and I don't do so lightheartedly! I genuinely fear for my family's wellbeing during this awful time

Just 3 weeks ago I lost my father to cancer

I appreciate that everyone is in a similar boat with bills looming over us so I am grateful for all consideration

Let's get me back to my usual adorable, hilarious self
