Lee Gardener - Project Diaries - is very ill

Lasairfion · March 14, 2019

I don't know if any of you follow the Project Diaries gardening Youtube series. Lee Gardener, the guy who does it, is very ill lately and is at the point now where he can barely walk.

He is mostly bed bound following a leg operation where he was supposed to receive physiotherapy after-care on the NHS, but this simply hasn't happened to the level needed and has had a big impact on his recovery.

He tried to look at paying for some physiotherapy or hydrotherapy sessions privately but it's just too expensive. Even paying for a gym with those facilities is too much because he has to pay twice each time because of having a carer come along to help him dress, and they only give you limited time in them. In the end it turned out cheaper to book a night at a hotel with a spa because you get free use of the facilities and you pay per room, which includes 2 people.

Some of his supporters clubbed together to help him pay for the trip, but he really does need to go more than once if he has a chance of getting his leg straightened out.

If you'd like to help, there's a Go Fund Me page that has been set up by one of his watchers, and he has paypal etc too (the links are underneath the video on Youtube).

Here's the video about the issues at hand:
