Help Little Kit Fight Neuroblastoma - please donate.

Donation protected

Two-year-old Kit Lorenzo is a bright, cheeky, and loveable little boy whose world — and that of his parents, and grandparents — has just been turned upside down.

What began as severe constipation from when Kit was just six months old, with over 30 visits to Drs, paediatricians and A&E has now led to a devastating diagnosis: stage 4, neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that has now spread.

But what makes Kit’s story even more heart-breaking — and remarkable — is this: he is a miracle baby.

Just a few years ago, Nikki was fighting for her own life after being diagnosed in December 2020 with grade 3 breast cancer. An Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, DCIS, and high-grade ADH in both breasts — a complex and aggressive form of hormone-positive breast cancer.

She underwent a double mastectomy but because the cancer wasn't able to be removed with 'clear margins' Nikki has since endured chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and ongoing hormone therapy to ensure that it doesn't return— a journey that continues to this day.

Before starting treatment, doctors gave Nikki a narrow window to preserve her fertility and freeze embryos. After previous miscarriages and failed IVF’s, she was told she would not be able to continue her motherhood journey and to look into other options. That’s when Nikki met her Angel, Laquiesha, who Became Kit’s surrogate mother.

From that moment of hope amidst chaos, Kit was born — a miracle from a single precious embryo, frozen before chemotherapy began. A living symbol of survival, resilience, and love.

Now, heartbreakingly, Kit faces a battle of his own. Nikki, and her family, her mum Jude, nanna to Kit, and friends are still in total shock and trauma around what has recently unfolded.

Over recent months, Kit’s health took a worrying turn. His tummy pains worsened, he lost his appetite, and became increasingly lethargic and he cried more consistently with tummy pains.

Then on the first week of May he became suddenly very unwell. Nikki rushed him to nearby Coventry hospital. Eventually, after pushing for a scan an Xray was done and revealed a large tumour in his abdomen, pressing on his kidney.

After an ultra sound and CT scan further tests confirmed what no parent ever wants to hear: Kit has neuroblastoma stage 4 that has spread most likely arising from the adrenal gland. This is still a fairly rare type of cancer which usually only affects children under 5.

Kit has been referred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where he will begin an intensive treatment pathway — including chemotherapy, scans, and possible surgery much later down the line when the tumour has shrunk. It’s a long, uncertain road ahead. The Dr's have advised that the first phase of this intense treatment could span at least 1 year.

Nikki is doing everything she can to stay strong for her son, but the emotional and financial toll needs to be planned for - and this is what this go fund page has been created for.

Nikki will be at her son’s bedside 24/7 and we don’t know how her employer will navigate this. She is a single mother with no financial support.

For a family who has already faced more than their share of heartbreak, this is an unthinkable, devastating further blow. But they are holding on to hope — and asking for help. Nikki's mum is looking after Rue, Kit's younger sister, with the help of some close friends, but this arrangement is not always going to be workable.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the burden on Nikki , her mum, and the immediate family and give Kit the best chance of beating this.

This fund is for:

• Travel costs to and from hospitals for Nikki and her immediate family.
• Any accommodation required by them or immediate family.
• Time off work to care for Kit full-time now and in the future.
• Baby sitting and care costs for Kit’s little sister Rue.
• The many hidden costs of supporting a young child through cancer

Nikki's friends are also looking into other benefits and grants available to her at this time.

If you can’t donate, please share his story anyway.

Thank you for standing with Kit and his family.

PLEASE SHARE this and send prayers, healing and hope.

With love, hope, and deep gratitude — Nikki, Jude, Rue, and & Team Kit (and Spike) xX
