- Family fundraising for a specialist ambulance costing £6,000.
- He wants to be laid to rest with his family in Manchester.
A family is desperately working to fulfill the final wish of Clive Thompson, a 56-year-old man receiving end-of-life care in a Dublin hospice. Diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer in 2024, Clive has expressed his desire to return to Greater Manchester to be with his loved ones and be buried in the family cemetery.
His family has launched a fundraising campaign, aiming to raise £6,000 for a specialized, high-dependency ambulance. This critical transport is needed to safely bring Clive, who has lost significant weight and is described as frail, back from Ireland.
Clive's wish includes being laid to rest with his parents and sister at Hyde Cemetery. His niece, Cherelle Thompson, is leading the effort, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring he does not die alone. The campaign seeks a final push to reach its financial goal.
