We are fundraising as a school community to support a former pupil of Amington Heath Primary School—now a brave 16-year-old girl, Ella—who is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis. She has younger siblings still at our school, and her story has touched the hearts of everyone here.
Your donation will help her fulfil some of her heartfelt wishes and create lasting memories with her family. Whether it's a special trip, a meaningful experience, or simply time together without worry, every contribution will make a difference.
Ella was once a bright, joyful member of our school family, and she continues to inspire us with her courage and kindness. Despite the unimaginable challenge she is facing, she remains hopeful and full of love for those around her.
Her younger siblings are still part of our school, and we see every day how deeply this affects their lives. As a community, we want to wrap this family in support and help Ella experience joy, comfort, and togetherness in the time she has.
This fundraiser is about more than money—it's about love, dignity, and giving a young girl the chance to live out her dreams. Thank you for standing with us.
To help raise funds for Ella to fulfil her wishes and make special memories, our pupils have launched a unique, child-led fundraiser. As part of Antibullying and Kindness Week, pupils are voting on fun TikTok challenges for staff to perform—from silly dances to lip-syncs and comedy skits. The winning ideas are filmed and shared on our school’s social media, with donation links included.
Each video is a celebration of joy, community, and hope—and every donation helps unlock the next challenge. It’s a way for our children to show love and solidarity, and for our whole community to come together in support of one of our own.
Please donate if you can—and share this page to help us reach others who may wish to support her journey.
