Appreciation for Ellie

[Boiler68]

Hi All

Don't really want to sound cheesy but I just want to voice my appreciation for Ellie. I’ve been on this forum for many years now as a wife/carer for my husband who has MND. I don’t contribute much because mine is quite a negative experience and I don’t want to pull people down when life really is hard enough for you all. I therefore just tend to pop in to read about others’ experiences and for tips to help my husband. Over the years there has been one constant who despite the difficulties she herself faces, gives selflessly every day (pretty much) to everyone, new and seasoned members.
So, here’s to Ellie from Dublin who has helped and counselled so many with MND and their carers over the years. I raise my Christmas glass to you to show my appreciation publicly.

Thank you Ellie. Best wishes for 2023.

Boiler68 I wholeheartedly agree Kathryn. I think Ellie has been far more support than any person who is supposed to be looking after me. And she always has good humour to go with wise words xx

Well said Kathryn. Ellie is like having your mother around, offering advice, encouragement, warmth, love and even the odd scolding when necessary.

[Artie]

I agree. I’m very grateful for Ellie’s knowledge and support.

I can feel the heat coming from Ellie's red cheeks from cornwall!!

Totally agree to everything said above. What always amazes me Ellie is your attitude and compassion and understanding for others. We all have different progression and onset but we are all together here and I for one feel able to ask for advice and help even though I am nowhere near far along compared to most, but Ellie always has the time and commitment. As do an awful lot of people here. Ellie no doubt u r embarrassed but its all true. Thanks for being here. Xx

Great shout Kathryn. 👏. Elie consistently offers sound and expert encouragement and advice. There always humour and understanding, in spite of the many challenges she faces.

I'm sure she would rather be my knowledgeable and wise younger sister than my mother though.😂 Thank you Ellie for always being there for us xxx😘🤗🥰

Me too. Ellie is a font of knowledge on all things Mnd and manages to be kind, compassionate and cheer us all up when required x

Another message of appreciation and thanks for Ellie, who can always be relied on to come up with helpful advice and suggestions. Where would we be without her?! I don't post on here much but I check in at least once a day and have learned so much over the past year. Many thanks Ellie.

Boiler68 😳🤗😘 to you, Kathryn, and to everyone - each and every kind word is humbling to read, but very much appreciated.

As I always say, what's the point in my knowledge learned through years of experience staying in my head. It’s my pleasure to be able to try help others out.

Heartfelt thanks xx
