OSiT Charity Appeal 2018
Every year, OSiT chooses a charitable cause to raise funds for with the support of all of our employees, clients and visitors to our centres. In 2017, we raised a fantastic £12,141 together for ‘Shelter from the Storm’ to help those affected by homelessness. We choose causes that have personal resonance for members of our community and this year is no exception.
2018’s appeal will support a family close to our hearts, the McClafferty family. Their lives have been severely impacted by the devastating effects of John McClafferty having suffered a severe stroke. He is pictured above with his wife Hayley and their two daughters, Hollie and Grace.
John was 39 at the time of the stroke, with no prior warnings that something was wrong. After spending just over 2 months in hospital, John was finally allowed home. Intensive physio now follows but the family have been told that it is unlikely John will ever gain feeling or movement in his left arm; his left leg has some movement but no feeling. He can no longer work and needs help with everyday tasks making each day a challenge.
The money we raise this year will help support the family as they adapt to the many challenges of ‘life after stroke’.
