<div>Hi, my name is Lisa Gibbons, and I’m the founder of The Independent Nurse, a small CQC-registered nursing service in Bristol.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I became a nurse because of a clear calling from God. When I was 18, during an operation, I experienced a life-threatening reaction to medication. In that moment, I had a vision where God told me He needed me to be a nurse. Before that, I had no direction in life, but that moment changed everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After several confirmations, I applied to nursing school even though I didn’t have the required grades in every subject. By a miracle, I was accepted. Two months later, I survived a serious accident that only strengthened my resolve to serve. On my first NHS shift, I sat in the hospital chapel and dedicated my entire nursing career to God.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 15 years in the NHS, I reached a point where I could no longer fulfil my calling in the way I believed God intended, with time, compassion, advocacy, and prayer. So, after much prayer and a 7-month process with the CQC, I became one of very few nurses in the UK registered as an independent healthcare provider.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started with one small advert and began seeing patients with chronic wounds that hadn’t healed for years. Many of them healed completely. I prayed for my patients, offered them dignity and love, and saw the difference it made, physically and spiritually.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the work grew, I rented a small room in a church community centre. On my first day, I sat in its chapel and dedicated this new chapter to God. Three years later, The Independent Nurse has grown to a small team of four, three clinic rooms, and thousands of patients cared for and seen hope restored in people’s lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year has been one of the hardest seasons yet, personally and financially. Despite strong growth and excellent outcomes, a series of challenges left us struggling to keep up with costs. We’re asking for a small boost to help us rebuild, secure our clinic space, and continue serving the people who fall through the gaps in current healthcare services.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to help, please know that your gift will help us keep our doors open, support vulnerable patients, and continue to bring healing with compassion and faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Lisa Michelle Gibbons
</div>
