Raising money for home conversion
An Onchan family’s turned to crowdfunding to pay for essential work adapting their home for their seriously ill son.
Finley Hesketh suffers from muscle-wasting disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and his mum Kirsty says converting their bungalow will cost up to £100,000.
She’s now launched four online fundraising campaigns to pay for different parts of the work - you can find the main fund at https://www.gofundme.com/finleysfuture
Kirsty says the family are desperate for support in the face of spiralling costs:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
