A huge thank you from all of us at Woodall Homes 🧡

Our Managing Director, David Wood had the pleasure of attending the Leicester City match this week thanks to some incredibly generous contributions.

We’re especially grateful to Darren Woolley at Unique Utility Solutions for kindly donating the experience tickets, and to Wayne & Scott Bennett at Derbyshire Fireplace Centre for purchasing them in support of a truly meaningful cause.

The funds raised form part of our £10,000 donation to Gavin Mélen for “A Gift for Gav” – a cause that means a great deal to us.

It’s moments like this that remind us how powerful community and generosity can be. Thank you again to everyone involved for your support.

Wishing a belated, but very happy 9-year wedding anniversary to this super-human. 16-years, 4 children, 2 homes, lot’s of unfortunate accidents and illnesses along the way but we got through them together. 🤍💍🫶🏻

A welcome anniversary present was Gav’s latest scan which presented yet another slight reduction in tumour volume. Unfortunately, with such a decline in our fundraising group over the last 6-12 months, we have been struggling to raise enough funds to pay for treatment in Germany, the funds we have raised have been dwindling only just covering Gav’s daily protocol. Sadly, we have now had to review and begin reducing some of the medications in Gav’s protocol, and this has had a fluctuating impact on quality of life, making the last couple of months more challenging than previous times. While this has shown to have slowed down the rate of regression from previous scans, we remain hopeful that we will be able to push for further donations if we continue to try and reach a wider audience. Any help is so greatly appreciated - this could be a small donation, engaging with and/or sharing our posts, events and page, or kindly hosting an event or workplace event of your own.

We appreciate how much we have asked for over the last 22-months and couldn’t be more grateful - you have given us a year more than Gav’s original prognosis and helped us significantly improve his quality of life. Nothing could ever repay such kindness. We would like to keep trying as hard as possible to fight not just the disease, but also the often debilitating symptoms and side effects from treatment, so we ask for your help once more.

Please contact us if you would like to help in any way. We have had some very kind offers from strangers who are currently hosting events on our behalf including line dancing, music events and the lovely ladies at Creating Connections are hosting further jumble sales on behalf of Gav also - please keep your eyes peeled for details.

We have a couple of our own events pending including our Easter Disco and tickets to our ‘Disco through the decades’ event with Becky Measures will be released with an event page very soon. If you can spare even £1 or would just like to read our story, please follow this link - https://gofund.me/d44b1a78d
