Help Eleanor Dyson Get the Gift of Health This Christmas

The Christmas season is a time of giving, hope, and making a difference in the lives of those around us. 

This year, you have the chance to make a life-changing impact by helping Eleanor Dyson, a brave young mum who is living with Gastroparesis.

What is Gastroparesis?

Gastroparesis is a chronic and debilitating condition that affects the stomach's ability to empty properly, leading to severe nausea, pain, and malnutrition. 

It’s not a widely known condition, but its effects can be devastating, robbing individuals of their ability to enjoy meals, maintain energy, and lead a normal life. In extreme cases it can be fatal. For Eleanor, this illness has been life-limiting, turning everyday activities into monumental challenges. Even though she faces each day with several smiles and a quip or two for her friends on line and in the Gastroparesis community.

Why Eleanor Needs a Gastric Pacemaker

Eleanor's health journey has brought her to a crossroads. Doctors have determined that a gastric pacemaker – a device designed to regulate stomach contractions and ease symptoms – could significantly improve her quality of life. However, this advanced treatment comes with a hefty price tag of £20,000 and isn't,currently, available on the NHS.

As of now, Eleanor’s GoFundMe campaign has raised an impressive £12,740, thanks solely to the generosity of people like you. But there’s still a way to go, and time is of the essence, as you will appreciate.

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Eleanor closer to her goal. Your support can help ensure she receives the treatment she desperately needs and give her the chance to regain control of her health.

Here are a few ways you can contribute:

Donate: Head to Eleanor's GoFundMe page and make a contribution. Even £5 or £10 can add up when many people get involved. https://www.gofundme.com/f/gastric-pacemaker-to-help-me-live-my-life

Share Her Story: Spread the word on social media, with friends, and in your community. The more people who hear Eleanor's story, the more support she can gather.

Organise a Fundraiser: Host a bake sale, car boot sale, or charity event to help raise money for Eleanor’s campaign. Every bit helps.

A Christmas of Hope

This Christmas, let’s come together to give Eleanor the greatest gift of all: the chance to live a fuller, healthier life. By donating to her campaign, you’re not only helping her meet her target but also showing her that she’s not alone in this battle.

With some mince pies costing a rather hefty £25.00 for six, sending a fiver to Ellie's appeal isn't really that much to help spread some real festive cheer! And make your own mince pies, instead? We'll be blogging about that, later!

Visit Eleanor Dyson’s GoFundMe campaign today to make a difference. Together, we can help make this Christmas one she’ll never forget.
