Bridget's Leukaemia Battle
Donation protected
This is Bridget. Smart, funny, loving, kind and so very special. She brings sunshine wherever she goes and leaves an imprint on your heart once you have just met her.
Her world was turned upside down a few years ago when she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Imagine having a healthy toddler one moment and then watching her endure temps, rashes, headaches, body aches, constant vomiting, pain and heartache. Bridget's life changed in an instant and the whole family relocated to Brisbane. Bridget's mum was pregnant with her second child. Bridget fought hard and after about 1 long, hard year in hospital, she was able to leave and resume her life as a normal little girl. She could run again, laugh again, dance again and started school healthy and happy.
Sadly, at just 6 years old, Bridget's leukaemia has relapsed and she is very unwell once again. This means that her family has had to relocate to Brisbane to restart the battle that no child should ever have to endure, let alone twice. Bridget, her little brother, her mum and her dad are once again living in Brisbane and barely seeing out of those same 4 walls. However to add to the mix, a new baby sister, who was born a few days after they got the devasting news that the leukaemia relapsed, is now also by this very special family's side.
Please, if you can give just a few dollars, it will go a long way. Due to the nature of Bridget's condition, both parents have relocated to the hospital as they need to be by her side. Every second is so precious and Bridget's dad needs to be there to hold her hand every step of the way. This family was hit hard by the initial diagnosis, to have to go through it again is nothing but unfair. Please help me show them love and kindness by easing their financial difficulties during an already difficult time.
