Declan Worcester promise to his DEC brother

Hi, My name is Lisa, and I am fundraising for my son Declan Worcester. Recently our family has experienced the tragic loss of our son and brother, Brock Worcester.

Brock, sadly, took his own life on the 2nd May 2022, in our family home. Declan, unfortunately, found Brocks body. Declan then had to make, as he described, " make the hardest phone call of his life", and that was to me, his mother, to tell me Brock was no longer alive and here with us.
Declans older brother Dean was also present in the house and together they somehow supported each other, while I hung up from Declan and called family and emergency services, which quickly arrived.

There is immense trauma for our family after Brocks passing and the process for Declan to gain some momentum in his grieving process he has received limited services but there is an enormous need for me as a mother to provide the ongoing essential support needed to address "his feelings" about how he failed his brother by not being able to stop him as he was home at the same time Brock took his own life.

Out of respect for our beloved and dearly missed Brock Worcester, we cannot disclose how he passed away. When that dreaded questions is asked it takes us all back to "that day" and there is to much trauma attached to be able to barely function.

Brock, Declan and Dean all share a diagnosis of high functioning autism. Brock also had Bipolar, and this was very challenging for Brock himself and our family.

Acceptance, joy and laughter were a daily part of our lives at home, and now a massive amount of our hearts are missing without our beloved Brock in our lives.

Declan has told me that the only thing that will help him feel differently is to fulfil the joint promise with his brother Brock. That collective promise was to own a Toyota Rugged X 4X4 2020 or a later version. The only things they talked about was changing over to All-Terrain wheels and having a manual roller shutter cover.

Declan and Brock were hip buddies in life and only 15 months apart in age. They shared many similar interests: camping, road trips for the weekend, being able to pick up things that mum might need, gold detecting, water skiing and most of all, just long drives together.

Brock would have been turning 21 on the 18th of July 2022, this year :-(

This dream seems so far away for Declan to remain optimistic about now due to their cost of approximately $90,000 and the trauma, grief and sorrow from loosing his brother and best friend in life. Owning the "joint dream car" would give him some hope that good things happen in life to good people.
Declan shared a caring role with me for his brother and brock always looked up to him. Declan also was a fabulous mentor to his brother brock and did his very best to help him feel better on a daily basis. Declan often sacrificed his own plans with his friends if Brock needed him.
I just want to show Declan that a dream can come true and Brock and myself can help make it happen.

Having thought their whole lives were ahead of them to achieve this dream together, there was no need to rush or even ask for help to make this a reality. Declan shared that if he owned the Rugged now, he would still be going ahead with his plans, and his brother Brock would be there by his side but just differently.

The urgency for this goal of Declan and Brocks has trumped my priority lists as it is the only thing that will give him closure and peace on his grief, pain and trauma of losing his brother and best friend in life.
He told me owning their Rugged X was the only thing that would give him peace, and so starting a gofundme page to relieve my son's aching heart and try and make it come true for him is the only position i can take as my financial situation is limited.

Asking people to help me help my son and make his dream come true is the only way I can try and help him through his tragic loss.
I am also grieving the loss of my son, Brock and healing with my family. I feel weak and I think that's normal for experiencing such an enormous loss of my son and I am needing someone strong to help please ?

Declan lives with his older brother Dean Kilby, his sister Shae Williams, his nephew, niece and myself.

If you can help me make Declans dream come true, I will be forever grateful, as it is not something I can do on my own.

Kind Regards

Lisa Williams
