A Beacon of Strength and Resilience

Gemma is a bright and intelligent young lady who was hard working and living life to the full. She studied for a degree in equine therapy and had a real passion for all things equine related. She was a groom for event riders, a brand ambassador and an experienced horse woman. Gemma loved and successfully retrained two ex racehorses, Charlie and Chant. Competing successfully at numerous events and shows.

Gemma’s unwavering positivity, spirit and shear determination has shone brightly during the most devastatingly difficult years of her life. Gemma and her family are extremely grateful for the kindness and support they have received.

How can you help:

Gemma is now preparing to leave the care home, and to do this she must have specialised equipment and continuing intensive therapy, in order to live a fulfilling life.

Any funds raised will help to finance this. Which will in turn give Gemma every possible chance to regain any movement and improve her mental health.

The ultimate goal would be to fund a 12 week physical therapy placement at a specialist residential rehab centre. This alone would cost in the region of £114,000 (Steps Rehabilitation in Sheffield).

In the last 2.5 years Gemma and her family have come to the sad and shocking realisation of how little is provided to help people with life changing injuries. It’s heartbreaking to know how much money it takes to give those in Gemma’s position quality of life and hope for the future.

Thank you for being a part of the Gemma Potts Community and for your generous support.
