Hi guys, wow this us something I never thought I would do.

The last month or so for us has been a challenge! A BIG challenge!

Most know that Jens been poorly and has 2 hospital visits one which was yesterday (6th) September. So now is time for some honesty. Jen has battled and suffered with mental health and depression for as long as I've known, well before that too. She is great at masking it and putting on a smile, but over the last 6 months she has been struggling big time amd sadly the first hospital admittance we had was because I came home to find Jen unconscious having taken an overdose of tablets. It was a scary night as I'm sure you can imagine. So after a few days in hospital she came home and despite doctors orders to rest, she got straight back to work. We are self employed so if we aren't open we don't earn any money at all.
She then continued to battle the demons in her head and was so grateful for all the flowers and gifts. However last night she tried once again to end her life, rushed to hospital and they have managed to stabilise her and she is now home resting.

What this means for us is not good news. Jen is struggling to cope, I'm just about holding it together. However with a closed cafe we have an enormous rent and electricity bill due of which we aren't able to earn a thing for at present. We are desperately in need of some help and so thought we would give this a go and see if we could get any help.

Mental Health is brutal and trust me seeing the one you love battle daily is so upsetting. ❤️

Thanks for taking the time read.
