The 46-year-old has chronicled her journey in a blog #diaryofahorizontalgirl via her Twitter page @JustMissEmma. She says her followers have helped keep her going, especially during lockdown when restrictions have meant that visitors have been seriously limited.
Emma tomou a difícil decisão de começar a arrecadar fundos depois de ser informado de que a reabilitação residencial muito necessária que ela deveria receber em 2020, que foi cancelada devido ao covid-19, agora seriam aguardados por mais de 14 a 18 meses. condições médicas.
She knew that to have any meaningful chance of being positively rehabilitated, her body could not wait another year to begin repairing the damage already caused by her complex medical conditions.

When I launched my appeal out of frustrations and desperation I genuinely had no idea it would receive the response it did. I am humbled at people’s kindness and literally cried with joy for 24 hours when we hit the target.”
