Hamish Wilson, an 18-year-old student from Crowborough, is set to undergo multiple amputations after a severe case of sepsis led to major organ failure. Shortly after starting his philosophy studies at university, Hamish fell critically ill and was hospitalized. His family has launched a fundraiser, raising nearly £50,000 for home modifications and rehabilitation. Jacqueline Wilson, Hamish’s mother, described the terrifying experience of witnessing her son’s rapid decline. Former MP Lord Mackinlay, a quadruple amputee, offered words of encouragement, highlighting the mental challenges ahead for Hamish as he adjusts to major life changes.
