A free bus service transporting cancer patients from Jersey arriving in England to University Hospital Southampton (UHS) has been saved from closure.
Wessex Cancer Support's Daisy Bus is used by patients travelling for treatment from the Isle of Wight, as well as those from the Channel Islands staying in hotels in Southampton.
The charity said external funding from the States of Jersey had been withdrawn and the service was due to end on 20 August.
Organisers of the campaign said they were "delighted to announce" that the bus would continue running over the next few weeks after more than £9,000 was raised.
In a statement on the campaign, organisers said: "We are delighted to announce that the cancer patient transport service in Southampton, previously delivered by the Daisy Bus, will continue uninterrupted over the next few weeks while we put plans in place for a permanent replacement service.
"This is thanks to the incredible generosity of Islanders over the last few days."
The Government of Jersey previously said it was withdrawing funding as falling numbers of patients from Jersey meant it was costing £60 per passenger journey - significantly more than a taxi fare.
The bus runs five times a day between the Leonardo Hotel, Deanery Court, Ocean Village and the RedJet terminal at Town Quay, taking patients to UHS.
A similar service, connecting Portsmouth's ferry terminal with the Queen Alexandra Hospital, will continue for the time being.
The buses are run jointly by Wessex Cancer Support and local NHS trusts in Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, but are not funded by the NHS.
