Life in 8K: My Cataract Surgery Journey at 60

My Mission at Knock Knock Immingham

 I created Knock Knock Immingham to share my journey as a Big Issue vendor, to be open about the challenges I face, and to give people a way to support me directly.

My mission is simple:

  • To work with dignity by selling the Big Issue and staying part of my local community in Immingham.

  • To tell my story honestly, so people understand what life is like on the margins and why support matters.

  • To build connections with those who want to help — whether by buying the magazine, donating, or just stopping to say hello.

  • To inspire understanding and compassion, showing that behind every vendor there’s a person with hopes, struggles, and determination.

This site is more than a blog — it’s a lifeline that helps me through difficult times, especially with health issues and cataract recovery. By supporting Knock Knock Immingham, you’re not only helping me personally, but you’re also standing up for the idea that everyone deserves a fair chance and a human connection.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
