<div>On Sunday the 9th of Febuary there was a serious road traffic collision where a car lost control and collided with a tree on Nuthurst road/ansley road where sadly the driver lost his life, a passenger was in a life threatening condition and another passenger thankfully had minor injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jay is the passenger that suffered life threatening injuries and was rushed to hospital after enjoying a night out with friends. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jay suffered with a serious life threatening brain injury, a fractured neck, a severed liver, a severed aorta, a damaged spleen, broken ribs, and even severed her tongue, and a missing tooth along with other cuts and bruises. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The A&amp;E doctors and nurses didnt think Jay was going to make it and was rushed straight in for life saving surgery on her brain where she had to have part of her skull removed. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jay was placed into a medically induced coma and within a matter of hours Jay was taken back into theatre to have the internal injuries to her liver, aorta and spleen repaired. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It wasnt until the next day that her severed tongue was noticed due to being intubated, Jay was once again taken into theatre for yet another operation to reattach her tongue. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally on Valentines day Jay came out of the induced Coma, Jay was so brave and was fighting so hard to recover from everything she had been through. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jay has a very long recovery ahead of her and now has been moved after nearly 5 weeks to a rehabilitation hospital where they can specialise and tailor her specific rehabilitation needs to help with her recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you can imagine this has turned Jays life upside down from being a very social outgoing young lady to now having rehabilitation and a very long recovery to which we all hope there will not be any further complications or pain later on in life due to her injuries. But most importantly Jay has a 6 year old son that she so desperately misses spending time with and her son misses his mummy very much. We all need Jay to pull through this very difficult time with rehabilitation so she can support her son and be able to support herself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are looking to raise as much money as possible so adaptions can be made to her family home so she can live comfortably and safely when the time comes for her to go home and be reunited with her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jay hasnt been able to work through this as you can imagine, the bills are stacking up and will continue to do so and we would like to raise as much as possible to take the worry and fear away from her so she can focus on getting better.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know these days are difficult for everyone financially and any donation to Jays cause its so greatly appreciated no matter how big or small. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this, we can only wish Jay a speedy recovery on this journey to living a normal comfortable life.

Jay's Road to recovery

<div>Winnie’s journey
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We write this with heavy hearts that my friend’s beautiful daughter Winnie Louise passed away with her family surrounded by her on 31.01.25 2 days after she was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>James has been unable to work due to circumstances of us visiting the hospital on a weekly basis and hasn’t worked since the start of December. Lauren has also been unable to work since the start of her pregnancy with attending the hospital on a weekly basis and not being able to claim any maternity grants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After having such a difficult journey with Lauren having 3 previous miscarriages, and a molar pregnancy which caused a cancer scare. James and Lauren have longed for this day for many years and unfortunately still had the devastating news that their baby wasn’t coming home with them, every parents worst nightmare. Winnie couldn’t fight the battles that life thrown at her just hours old. Winnie was very poorly and NICU at QMC tried everything to make things different for them but they still have to suffer with the grief of losing their baby girl that nobody deserves to go through. Instead of coming home and being in the baby bubble they are instead having to arrange Winnies funeral. Not only having to face that , they have had to explain to Winnie’s big sister Lillie that her little sister is never coming home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you can all imagine they are absolutely heartbroken and was never wanting to plan a funeral for their baby but to plan a future for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The last few years has been horrendous for this family so giving them the break they all deserve would be incredible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We understand that some of the funeral costs will be covered by the funeral directors, however they are wanting to give this little girl an extra special send off that she deserves by raising as much money as we can. As well as give Lillie Some special treats and a break she deserves in loving memory from her sister from all the heartache and trauma she has come across these last few years and this last week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution would be a massive help and we appreciate every single one of you that will help towards all of this for the beautiful family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.

<div>PLEASE HELP GET RICHARD HOME
</div>
<div>Hello, I’m Wendy… mother to 29 year old Richard.
</div>
<div>We both work for DHL Supply Chain, Healthcare in Banbury.  I have 25 years’ service in admin &amp; reception and Richard joined our transport department as an HGV class 1 driver 18 months ago.  We both love our jobs and the company.  Richard spent most of his spare time at the gym weight training which he loved.  Sadly in May he was riding his motor bike when a careless car driver pulled across his path without looking and Richard's planned future was ripped away from him.  His back was broken, his left forearm crushed, 3 broken ribs and punctured a lung.  It pains me greatly to say that he is now paralysed from the diaphragm down along with lost bowel or bladder control.  The level of his injury affects his heart rate and body temperature and these additional medical conditions leave him vulnerable to Autonomic Dysreflexia… a life threatening emergency caused by stimulus below his level of injury that can no longer communicate with the brain.  Hay fever or a common cold causing him to sneeze or cough would require medical intervention as he no longer has core strength.  Any hopes he had to naturally father children are lost… costly IVF would be the only option and doesn’t always work.  
</div>
<div>Recently transferred to Stoke Mandeville hospital Richard is going through rehabilitation and preparing for life in a wheelchair, but our home is old and has no access for a wheelchair or other equipment that he will need.  I’ve reached out to an interior designer with specialist knowledge, but the cost will be far more than I have and I’m too close to retirement for huge loans.
</div>
<div>My appeal is to raise funds towards two things.  
</div>
<div>Firstly… to have the necessary adaptations made to our home so that when Richard is ready to be discharged from hospital he can return home to Middleton Cheney, Banbury where he’s lived from birth.  He’ll need a wet room with turning space for a wheelchair, doorways widening, hard flooring throughout the ground floor.  On top of this he’ll need hoists (so reinforced ceilings), specialised bed and many add on equipment to make his life more bearable and achieve a better level of independence… we’re still only scratching the surface and unsure of his future needs.  It would massively lift his spirits to know he’d be able to return to his own home after all he’s been through.
</div>
<div>Secondly… funding to seek more specialised, intensive physiotherapy that is not available through the NHS which will further support his ongoing wellbeing once he leaves hospital.
</div>
<div>It would be wonderful of people to support my appeal, I’d be grateful for any morsal of help right now.  Thank you for reading and please, please consider a donation… £1, £5, £10 or whatever you can spare.
