<div>Hi, my name is Caroline, and I am hoping to raise funds to help bring my terminally ill son, Stephen, home from Australia.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In December 2024, Stephen was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). He is a single parent to his 14-year-old daughter, Lilliana. Since his diagnosis, and from the age of just 12, Lilliana has taken on the heartbreaking responsibility of helping to care for her dad.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since March 2025, Stephen has been unable to work or live a normal life with his daughter, and his condition has deteriorated rapidly. He is now in a wheelchair, requires round-the-clock care, and has recently undergone major surgery to have a PEG feeding tube fitted.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our wish is to bring Stephen and Lilliana home to Northern Ireland, where they can be surrounded by family, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Initially we are hoping to raise £60,000 to cover the costs of travel, including flights for myself, my other son Ryan, and a registered nurse to accompany us to Australia and safely return home with Stephen and Lilliana. Stephen will also require specialist travel insurance due to his condition.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In addition, we will need financial assistance with legal/professional costs and we will need to provide suitable accommodation for Stephen’s complex needs. This includes building a self-contained modular home beside my house, as well as making necessary adaptations such as installing a stairlift and converting the main bathroom into a wet room while the build is completed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Stephen is a kind and hardworking man, and above all, a devoted father who has always been there for others. Now, he needs our help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As a mother, this is the most heartbreaking experience I could ever face. No parent should have to watch their child deteriorate before their eyes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and compassion.

</div>
