My most excellent friend has had her hearing ravaged by tumours. For a while now she's been completely deaf in one ear and down to 10% hearing in the other.
She's had an absolute shite year spending much of it in hospital with complications from her condition but she finally has the cochlear implant she was waiting for on our wonderful NHS.
It's greatly improved her life, but funds are tight and neither she nor the NHS can fund the accessories she needs to make it work better and live a more normal life and overcome the workplace anxieties dodgy hearing causes.
Would mean the world to her, and me, if you could chuck a fiver in the pot and help her have the Christmas she deserves. One where she can hear the Queen on the telly and swear at her accordingly.
Fank yoo

To have any kind of sense of humour after what she's been through is amazing - best wishes for a successful campaign.
*edit* I meant "quite" in the sense of very, not slightly! Bloody English language - I always was shite at it!

She amazes me how she's managed to keep it all together through all this. She's had a pretty tough life and really deserves a bit of a leg up. She's a proper trooper!

I've added a small contribution. Seems like she'll make better use of it than me!
