Blog. Tatiana’s Story.

Behind every statistic there’s a person with a story to tell.

Restaurant manager Tatiana initially applied to us to fund a dishwasher for her home.

When we contacted her, it quickly became clear that her needs were far greater than just a new dishwasher, and that we could do much more to help.

Tatiana contracted blood poisoning while on holiday. She became terribly ill and nearly died. The operation to save her life resulted in the amputation of all four of her limbs.

Tatiana loves working in the restaurant sector... and she loves to dance. But her standard-issue NHS prosthetic limbs simply wouldn’t give her the mobility and independence she longed for.

Tatiana is a go-getter and set up her own crowdfunding campaign to buy her more advanced prosthetics, but it ended with a shortfall.

We covered the gap, so that Tatiana could claim back her mobility, her independence, and her freedom, return to work - and start dancing again.
