An Edinburgh nurse has manage to raise thousands of pounds for coronavirus patients across the Lothians.
Alison Williams launched the crowdfunder with the hope of being able to buy "essential items" for those hospitalised by COVID-19.
The nurse, who works on the frontline at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, said she had seen first-hand "how little" some patients had.
The crowdfunder was set up to raise £500 but has already smashed the target in just one day with over £11,000 donated and counting.
Alison said on the JustGiving page: "Unfortunately staff working in the COVID positive wards at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are seeing first hand how desperately unwell these people are and how little they have.
"Without any visitors, and families at home in isolation they have little or no clothing and toiletries.
"We’re looking to purchase men’s/ladies pyjamas, toiletries and, if donations permit, hospital ipads to allow them to keep in touch with their families at such a difficult time.
"We appreciate that things are difficult for everyone right now but if you can help someone in the most difficult of times if would be very much appreciated."
