Patient Stories
Keith’s Story
“LIVES got there first. And that’s very reassuring. You see a smiley face come out of the truck and you think—yes. High as hope.”
Keith is a full-time farmer. On Good Friday, around 3:00pm, he was out doing jobs when he suddenly found himself unable to move. Pinned in a ditch, by a forklift.
Keith was injured and trapped, with no one around. Waiting two hours for help simply wasn’t an option. Thankfully, a LIVES volunteer was already on the way.
“At LIVES’ core, it’s just one neighbour helping another.”
Nikki, Community First Responder
Will’s story
The Greatest Gift: Will’s story
The Greatest Gift tells the story of Will and the night that changed his family’s life. In the film, Will, his parents Sue and Gavin, and his sister Lorna reflect on the frightening wait for news, the support they received and the joy of having Will home for Christmas. Watch their story and donate to help LIVES volunteers continue supporting people in communities across Lincolnshire.
