Cancer diagnosis - urgent car repair costs


Stanley is 12 years old has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer - lymphoma ALCL (ALK+).

We are looking for help towards the unexpected huge cost of our car gearbox repair. Which is going to cost £3000 plus VAT.

This is our only method of transport and relied upon heavily for frequent hospital admissions for Stan’s chemotherapy treatment. He is very immunosuppressed and at high risk of neutropenic sepsis / temperature spikes. In-between treatment he often requires emergency hospital admissions for IV antibiotics and blood transfusions. Sometimes, waiting for an ambulance is too risky in delaying urgent treatment as he requires immediate emergency hospital admission.

Stanley is 12 years old and lives with his Nan who is also disabled. Stan has had a very difficult few years following the passing of his Dad four years ago and more recently this Cancer diagnosis. I am Stan’s uncle and help support Stan and the car is our only access to transport between us which also includes a wheelchair hoist. His chemotherapy treatment regime is very gruelling, intensive and he requires a wheelchair to mobilise.

Stan has been generously gifted some amazing morale boosting gifts from charities and businesses which include days out to help with his recovery. The side effects of his treatment can make him feel very low. He cannot travel on public transport as he’s so immunosuppressed. So the car is a vital tool in helping us manage both his treatment and recovery.

The rising costs of living and the additional expenses since his diagnosis has been difficult to manage. This unforeseen repair cost of the car has really impacted an already very difficult situation.

Any contribution to help us in this difficult situation would be very kindly appreciated and extremely helpful.

Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions or would like any further clarification.
