A Special Wish for Our Special Girl Nolianni

As some of you may know, our beautiful, brave niece Nolianni from Diggle, Saddleworth, was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in 2019 at the young age of 10. After 2 brain surgeries and multiple rounds of chemo and radiotherapy over the last 4 years, unfortunately, the tumours have spread throughout her body and are now Stage 4. Sadly, because of where the tumours are, they have been deemed inoperable and are not appropriate for any of the pioneering treatments available. Her condition is now classed as terminal

Nolianni is putting up such a fight and is the strongest, bravest, most inspirational little girl we know. She is always smiling and making people laugh and we are so blessed to call her our own. Her positive attitude towards life, despite what she has had to endure so far, is nothing but inspirational. Nolianni’s illness has impacted heavily on her family, especially her mum, Elois, her dad, Alan and her two older brothers, Billy and Joby.

Elois has spent the last few years nursing Nolianni through all her treatments and staying overnight with her, with Alan transporting them back and forth. This has meant that her siblings have missed out on valuable time with their mum and sister, and quality family time together has been almost impossible.

The whole family are coming to terms with this prognosis slowly, but we, as their family, want to make sure they spend their remaining time together as a family of 5, doing special things. We want to give them the chance to make precious memories and go on a holiday of a lifetime with the possibility of swimming with dolphins. This is one of Nolianni's dreams and with her being predominantly wheelchair-bound due to the pain from the tumours, swimming is one of the only activities that she can still participate in.

To help us try to achieve this we have set up a go fund me page to help make some dreams come true for Nolianni and her family.

Please donate as much or as little as you can. We will all be eternally grateful for any help ❤️ xxxx
