Home / Appeals / Lee
February 3, 2025

Lee is a former soldier with a distinguished service record. He lives in Kent with his wife, Natalie, and their two children, Evie and Henry.

When Henry was four years old, he was diagnosed with a condition called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is a progressive, life-limiting condition, which is causing his muscles to weaken. Soon after the diagnosis, it became clear that their home would require significant adjustments to meet Henry’s needs.

The costs of those adjustments were more than the family could afford. Having taken out a loan and extended their mortgage, and explored every possible source of government support, Lee and Natalie were stressed and exhausted – and in urgent need of help.

Thanks to the enormous kindness of supporters like you, we were able to provide the family with a grant of £13,500. As a result, Henry, who is now 10 and a full-time wheelchair user, can move around his home freely and get outside into the garden. This has brought him so much joy.

A gift of £30 from you today would enable us to offer support to more soldiers like Lee & their families – wherever they are – at home and abroad.

 

Suggested donation
£30 could go towards the cost of counselling to help a soldier battling with a mental illness such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
£50 could help fund education and training to help someone that has served their country transition to civilian life and embark on a rewarding new career.
£100 could help towards the cost of adapting a veteran’s home, to enable them to stay living in their own home, safely and with dignity.
