A nebuliser for Gerry
Gerry Wills is 74 and lives in Newark with his wife Mary.
He worked for 35 years at the local Staythorpe Power Station but now has emphysema, which has meant he is unable to get out and about as much as he would like.
He learnt that a portable nebuliser could help and following an enquiry about purchasing one, he took advantage of a demonstration and quickly realised that this was what he was looking for.
He approached EEIBA for help and in turn, EEIBA approached the RWE Npower Benevolent Society who made a grant available to enable Gerry to purchase his nebuliser.
EEIBA's Regional Welfare Officer has made a follow up call to Gerry who is now much happier and very grateful for the help that has been given.
