Thank you, that’s all really helpful. I had heard of a charity you can fundraise through, I can’t remember the name now, Tree something. So it adds another level of safety as they administer everything, and if you raise more than you need they send it to a charity, it’s not via GFM.

Although, your post has put me off a bit! Not that I don’t want to be accountable or to spend it on sunglass, but more that I don’t really want to open our lives up so much. I think the extra pressure would be too much for my (already fragile) mental health. Despite doing all the things you’ve suggested I can see some people will still be unhappy with that level of openness. And I’m aware building costs can be tricky to put a figure on, I’ve watched lots of Grand Designs.

Not sure if I can link, the charity is called Tree of Hope. I’m not sure if they would help with building work, it seems to be more for health support.

I have a particularly poorly child who won’t sadly survive into adulthood, I need lots of things to better her life that I simply can’t afford but honestly the thought of trying to fundraise is a big no no for me! I couldn’t handle it if something went wrong- for what ever reason! And I feel insanely guilty asking for money. The only thing I’ve been able to do is ask and ask .. Approach charities (we’ve had helped for equipment/wheelchair/hydrotherapy). Also the government funded our extension to facilitate safer sleep and a wetroom, we met the criteria. Thing is people don’t understand just how much it costs to actually be unwell these days, honestly it’s a lot of extra money to better the life of not only your child but your family. But also there are a lot of people that will literally try everything they can to get money/things for free when they don’t need it.

Any way, stumbled on this thread. Can’t stand her, terrible situation to lose your child, but her whole personality isn’t a vibe. She’s very my way or no way and doesn’t care about others in the process. Just the feelings she gives me, I watch her very occasionally. I found her very hit and Miss when her son was still Alive as it’s very close to my situation.

We’re in a similar boat. I just can’t bare the thought of my child having to sleep in the lounge and being unable to wash them at home. I’m willing to do whatever I can’t to avoid that as they go through enough, a little dignity isn’t much to ask I don’t think. Which is why I’m willing to fundraise for this, usually I’m the same as you and we get things another way or go without.

Of course. You do what you need to do for your own situation. The government do offer the DFG grant? That’s a hefty lump sum if you qualify, we did and got that and funded a ground floor extension, we helped fund it too.
