Hi my name is Gavin. I'm trying to raise funds to get back into work -self employment next year. My trade is plastering- painting & decorating. Because of my injury I cant not do plastering anymore . But I can do painting & decorating .The funds will help me get back to what I do best. The funds will help me get tools and maybe a van so I can start trading again. I have been a plasterer - painter for 20 years plus. The importants is I can get my livelihood back. I have been out of work now for one year. Last year I feel on a kerb - ice back in November . I broke my tibia and fibia. got rush to hospital where the doctor- nurse got me into surgery put an external frame on my right leg . I had that on my leg for 8 mouths put me out of work . Life has been hard then the specialist had me in for surgery to get frame off . Then put me in a cast for 4 week then had me back into surgery again to put a metal rod in my leg this was the best opinion so I went a head with what that doctors said after 3 surgery's later im on the mends the reason im doing this go fund me is because I lost everything I have us all my saving over the last year. Im struggling to get back on my feet . I would appreciate the help to get me back into work and give me my independence. thank you .
