Story
Dialysis Patients require treatment three times a week for all of their lives and something like a holiday is often out of the question if not incredibly difficult for our patients.
At Derby we have the unique provision of a dialysis caravan at a coastal caravan park in Caernarfon, Wales where our patients can enjoy a break and receive treatment from Staff they know so well.
We need to secure a new van as the existing one is coming to the end of its life. We don't want to lose this amazing provision which means so much to many of our patients and their families.
Here below our patients have shared what the caravan means to them.
"This is a unique and vital service for people like me"
"The best part was that my Dialysis treatment was managed on the caravan site, in a private unit, by the same staff from Derby who know me well"
"Dialysis patients have quite a restricted life. To be able to have a week away was incredibly beneficial"
£75000 is a lot of money to raise but every donation no matter how big or small will help us on our way.
Thank You
