WE SUPPORT ARMY FAMILIES

Kirstie, the wife of a veteran, lives with a condition that impacts her mobility. Our charity stepped in with a grant for an all-terrain wheelchair, enabling her to carry out everyday tasks with her family.

Kirstie’s husband served for six years in the Coldstream Guards and undertook two tours of Afghanistan. On his final tour he was injured when two rocket- propelled grenades exploded behind him. He left the Army in 2012 and is now a self-employed gardener.

Kirstie has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a rare condition that causes her uncontrollable muscle spasms, migraines, sleep deprivation and fatigue. She suffered a serious fall several years ago when her leg completely separated from the hip and was told that she might never walk again. However, following a series of operations and through sheer determination, Kirstie is able to walk short distances with the aid of a crutch.

ABF The Soldiers’ Charity has provided Kirstie with a grant for an all-terrain wheelchair, which has vastly improved her quality of life. ‘So far, I have been

into town, shopping, to the woods and on walks with the dog. I have been able to attend hospital appointments flying solo and have been able to go to functions which, before having the chair, I would have been unable to make. The nicest thing is to be able to pick my kids up from school on my own. I had no idea that there was a charity out there that supported the families of serving soldiers and veterans. It has really been a life changer.’
