Hello all,

I hope this is the correct part of the forum to put this on. I am a local nurse and midwife who is trying to raise some funds for medical treatment for complex surgery which I require on my jaw. 

I would really appreciate any support or just spreading the word around Dulwich!

Thank you in advance x

This sounds hellish.  Have you thought of contacting BBC local news, both TV and radio as well as the ITV local news?   There is a known shortage of midwives so it’s sad that you are having to stop work.  Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 would be another programme.   

Hi Azalea, thank you for this! Yes I’ve reached out to BBC London but if you or people of this forum have any other ideas / connections I’d be very interested to hear them! Obviously Southwark News picked up on it but would like to raise more awareness of the condition and my fundraising for treatment. 
 

and yes it is very sad as I love being a nurse & midwife and am very keen to get back to it but feel frustrated that I have been failed by the NHS at my time in need.

Hi all, thank you so much to the lovely people of this forum who have donated. I still have a very long way to go and appreciate anything anyone is able to contribute ❤️
 

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for local businesses/establishments that may be able to help? I was thinking maybe Dulwich College?

Morning all, just giving my fundraising efforts a little boost as seems to have stalled a bit in the hope that people will feel in the Christmas giving cheer! Once again I am really so grateful for any donations and desperate to have this surgery ASAP.

I have tried emailing around Dulwich businesses, Woman's hour as suggested before, BBC local news but not had much success so am open to more suggestions too as how I could try and get more coverage and donations.

Thanks again ❤️

    • I can't recommend Gok's fitness hub more highly.  I do personal training there and classes.  A really supportive environment from other clients and all the trainers.  Great fun.  I love exercising outside - always under cover if raining! - with the option of inside on the very cold mornings..  I do personal training as I've had injuries with running but now, after strength, I can run as well but been able to lose my "muffin top" with the weight training..  My husband also works out at the hub and has noticed getting back his shape of younger years!  Classes are great fun - really varied and encourage you to push yourself though everyone of all strengths and fitness are accommodated and made to feel very welcome.  They also do HYDROX training now though not sure I can be persuaded to do that... hopefully will be able to do my first pull up unaided in the New Year!  I  much prefer it to an inside gym and the trainers - and Gok - are fantastic!
    • Generally speaking 'life-changing' is normally a euphemism for 'physically disabling' a term which we now cannot use, but in practice there are many hidden disabilities (such as those linked to PTSD) which are actually life changing as well - where people are frightened of, for instance, going out in the dark, being with strangers and so on following  e.g. attacks, which may not leave them physically challenged at all, but psychologically severely damaged and life-changed. But that's not what the police, or hospital authorities mean when they say 'life-changing', it's just they can't now refer to physical disabilities because they are now 'different abilities'. And they want to say that it's been a pretty bad time for the injured with long-term effects.
