Hi everyone,
I’m not usually one to post personal things like this, but there’s a reason I’ve been quiet lately.
I recently had an accident and broke my leg in two places. I had surgery this week and have since been told I also have a ligament tear and tissue damage. Recovery is going to be a long one, and I’ve been advised I could be off work for around four months.
As most of you know, I run Perfect Clean, and right now I honestly don’t know when I’ll be able to return — or what that will look like.
Unfortunately, the bills don’t stop. Like many families, one full-time wage just doesn’t stretch far enough to cover everything — especially with food, school trips, and everyday expenses.
This has taken a real toll on my mental health, but I’m trying to stay positive. Surgery feels like the first step on the straight road to recovery — even if it’s a slow one. I’m just learning to re-navigate life for a little while.
A neighbour very kindly set up a GoFundMe for us. If anyone feels able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean more than you know. And if you can’t, even sharing would help massively.
Thank you for reading. Life hasn’t been giving us much of a break lately, but we’re doing our best to get through it ❤️
