Please help.
On Wednesday, our family received devastating news. Our beautiful nephew Arnold (Arnie) has been diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour that sadly cannot be treated. Imagine telling your 13 year old son that he has less than a year to live. The doctors have given him a prognosis of 6-12 months to live and his health with soon start to rapidly decline. His mobility, ability to eat, and speak will soon be greatly affected. He’s already struggling to walk and his speech is now affected. We want to ensure that he can create lasting memories with his family, and make the most of his time.
Arnie is a such a loving and affectionate boy who is hilarious and full of life. He’s desperate to experience as much as he can before his health deteriorates rapidly. Although he is being very brave, he’s incredibly scared and sad to be leaving his family behind, including his three brothers and sister, especially his little brother Ivan who he won’t get to see grow up. This devastating news has left us all broken hearted, and we are determined to make his remaining time as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.
Both of Arnie’s parents are self-employed, and with their focus now solely on his care, they will struggle to stay financially stable. The financial burden they face is immense with a family of 7 to support, they will be unable to cover their daily living costs, bills, and mortgage. We want to urgently move the whole family from down south to Manchester to rent a new house where he can be closer to all his family and get the support they need. Arnold is desperate to be with his family in Manchester.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in Arnold’s life and allow his family to focus on creating precious moments together and help move them to Manchester. We understand that not everyone may be in a position to donate, but sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks can also greatly help in spreading the word and reaching our goal. We cannot express enough gratitude for your compassion, support, and generosity during this challenging journey.
