From Get Surrey - Lung transplant mum's Facebook group wins support
A MOTHER needs a life-saving lung transplant costing £800,000 and has to raise the money by October 1.
Clarajane Penfold, who lives at Lydia Park in Cranleigh, has been denied the operation on the NHS so is having to travel to the USA for the private procedure.
Almost 8,500 people have joined a Facebook group in support of her fundraising efforts. She needs to reach her target by the beginning of next month in order to be granted a visa, otherwise she will have to wait a year to reapply for one.
Mrs Penfold has suffered from polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis since the age of seven, requiring seven joint replacements and five other operations. As a result of the condition, she has now developed obliterative bronchiolitis and bronchiectasis, and the damage to her lungs is irreversible.
Last August, doctors told her she was not a suitable candidate for a lung transplant and was given four to five years to live,
Mrs Penfold, 32, who has an autistic son Shane, aged nine, and seven-year-old daughter Dion, said: “They told me to go away and enjoy my life. My kids’ father said to the doctor that we are not giving up and that there must be somewhere and some way we could do this.
“Dion keeps crying and saying she doesn’t want her mummy to die, but I say I’m getting this operation. I just want to be with my kids. They are babies and I don’t want them to grow up without a mother.”
Mrs Penfold’s mother will not be able to travel with her daughter to America, as she is currently in Frimley Park Hospital having had a second leg amputated as a result of diabetes.
The transplant in North Carolina will cost $1.9m. Mrs Penfold, who is a Gypsy, will then need to spend about a year recovering in an apartment owned by the hospital, which will cost a further £630 a month in rent.
She has had to sell her home and some possessions to cover the costs and has received support from the Gypsy community in England, France, Australia and America. They are holding events such as horse fairs, sponsored walks, raffles and parties to raise money for her.
“The support has been unbelievable,” added Mrs Penfold. “The good thing about the Gypsy community is we are one big family and stick together no matter what.
“There are people [who] don’t know me, but we are blood. I really feel like I will reach the target now because of the response I’ve had – I’m quite confident.”
Although she has been ill for most of the life and unable to work, Mrs Penfold said she had also defied the odds and doctor’s predictions, and intends to do the same again.
“I was in a wheelchair when I was 13 and they said I wouldn’t walk again but I proved them wrong,” she continued.
“My doctors said I wouldn’t live to have kids but I wanted to be a normal housewife and mum, and do day-to-day things. I proved them wrong again because I am stubborn.
“Some days I am not able to get out of bed and I’ve never been able to do much for myself, but my dedication now is to my family.”
