Cate Whitmore is a single mum with two children trying to adapt her home after a fall left her paralysed. The Charity agreed to fund improvements to her front room to allow her access in her wheelchair and to allow her to use it as a bedroom as she can no longer get up the stairs.
The trustees felt that this was a genuine case of need and saw in Cate a lady whose life had been turned upside down through no fault of her own. They also saw how she was committed to raising funds herself for other modifications to her home.
