Last year Daxa had a nasty fall and broke her leg in two places. She was taken to Leicester Infirmary where nurses took care of her for two weeks.
It took a while for Daxa to get back to full health, and she felt she couldn’t have done it without the kindness and care that the nurses gave her.
To say thank you to nurses everywhere, Daxa has donated £150 to the RCN Foundation. Thank you Daxa! If you'd like to show appreciation for care you've received, please donate today! Or TEXT 5RCNF to 70450 to donate £5.
Your kind donation will help a nurse or midwife struggling with in-work poverty afford food for their family, heating or travel costs and keep them nursing
Your donation will help those in the nursing community who need it the most, for example people like Debbie, a nursing support worker who suffers from depression.
When my partner abandoned me 15 months ago, I couldn't manage to run my car to get to work. My car is my saviour as there is not much public transport where I live. I was on a zero-hours contract with the NHS so work was not reliable. I also had a serious health condition.
I was overwhelmed at the help I got from the Foundation, especially after I broke down on the phone because of my depression. They provided £500 for living expenses and £300 to have my car repaired. It meant I could keep my car on the road for another year and buy food for a while.
The RCN Foundation supported my well-being by giving me peace of mind. I was able to carry on with life and keep going. I felt someone cared and had security when I was overwhelmed with sadness and panic. This was invaluable. I like to work and support myself. It gives me great self-esteem. But, sometimes, you just need help and there's no way to get by but to ask for it.
