The Overwhelming Community Response

The response to the Poppy Atkinson fundraiser has been nothing short of phenomenal. Donations have doubled from the initial target of £5,000 to a remarkable £10,000! This unexpected surge in generosity is a testament to the kindness and compassion of the Kendal community. The spirit of giving has truly shone through.

• Local businesses, including Kendal's renowned bakery, "The Crusty Loaf," contributed a significant £1,000 through a bake sale.
• A sponsored bike ride organized by a group of local teenagers raised an impressive £750.
• Individual donations, both large and small, flooded in, exceeding all expectations. This incredible support will provide vital financial assistance for Poppy’s ongoing medical expenses. "It's truly heartwarming to see such overwhelming support from our community," says Sarah Jones, a key organizer of the fundraiser. "This doubled donation total means we can alleviate a huge burden for the Atkinson family."

How the Extra Funds Will Be Used

The doubled donations will be used to significantly enhance Poppy's treatment and support her family in several vital ways:

• Medical Treatment: £6,000 will cover six months of crucial, specialized medical treatment not covered by the NHS. This will provide Poppy with the best possible chance of recovery.
• Travel Expenses: £2,000 will cover travel expenses to and from hospital appointments, which can be substantial and financially draining for families facing such challenges.
• Support Services: £2,000 will fund additional support services for Poppy and her family, including respite care, counselling, and home healthcare. This will provide much-needed relief and assistance during this difficult time.
