Inflation has decimated Strathcarron Hospice's NHS funding, leaving it reliant on charity events.
Irene McKie, Strathcarron's chief executive, said: "We always pay our staff the same rates as the NHS because we want to get the best people possible."Ms McKie added: "That is massive. We would need to find most of that money ourselves."And we pay for them with coffee mornings and 10k runs and ladies lunches. It seems ridiculous that's the way we have to fund the service.
Ms McKie said: "We have said we're going to have to make big decisions if we don't get additional funding. We actually haven't had a response to that."Because they actually want us to do everything we're doing - they just hope we magically find the funding for it ourselves." "Her family were really frustrated, really anxious at the situation they're living in. They just don't feel like they've had very much support in the year and a half since her diagnosis.
She told BBC Scotland: "I'm terrified the money is going to run out because I need to keep myself warm, I'm always really cold with my treatment. It's a huge worry."
