We never ever thought we would be in this position. My wife and I moved to Spain in 2016. We left our two daughters and seven, yes seven happy grandchildren in the UK and the hope was to see them here regularly. Sadly a variety of illnessnes stopped that for a while and just as things were shaping up we received a massive bombshell. Our youngest daughter at 30 years old was diagnosed with terminal stage four brain cancer in February 2018. Sadly after so many GP visits and meds which clearly did not help the diagnosis was made after she was rushed in to hospital by her husband. Stage four brain cancer is terminal, it has no remedy and no fix. Our daughter is now in palliative care, she has always worked and eight months ago she had her sick pay stopped. Trying to get extra and more to the point trustworthy care is difficult, and expensive. Our daughter has regular MRI scans after six months of sickening radiotherapy and then chemotherapy. The cancer is still there and now it's a case of prolonging her life under NHS guidance, and any medical progressive discoveries that are made. Cards on the table we are going to do whatever we can, wherever we can to prolong her life and make our beautiful daughter comfortable and safe. Her children all attend school and each morning it is an extremely difficult and sometimes nearly impossible task to coordinate. Four children take over your life. You can imagine I'm sure how this is and everyday matters, bills, mortgage, and everything else impacts on her greatly and is affecting her well being and cognitive functioning. This does nothing to aid the resting process and the endless headaches and tiredness are debilitating. We as her parents have gone in to huge debt to continue to care for her regards travelling costs. Her father is a pensioner an ex RAF veteran. All money we have and as much as we can goes to financing anything connected to our daughter. Now, and with her in palliative care she needs one to one help with the children, life, logistics, and all the things I think we all take for granted. Plus, the children need to make memories, they are totally unaware of her illness and when able to our daughter needs to be able to make the very best of her life as it stands. Time is of the essence. We desperately need donations for her and her family to cover costs such as private medical advances, daily care involving her mother and father, additional rented property to allow this to happen. Respite help is massive now, we also need contact with our grandchildren to help her daily including travel, days out, in fact the list is endless. Unfortunately a pension doesn't cover this and now her basic wage is stopped she is financially in a bad place. We continue to fight for some form of medical retirement. We basically need help to make whatever time we have left with our daughter and grandchildren as perfect and peaceful as we can. We will supply updates on here of where all the money goes, every single penny. There is is nothing to hide and so much for her to gain. This is a heartbreaking time and our feeling of hopelessness is massive. We just need to make our beautiful daughter smile, our grandchildren remember and her immediate future happy and secure. Please help. We will set up an email address and update you from Wednesday 19th June 2019 the day this campaign starts, please leave your comments, we welcome your support. And thank you.Organizer
