Grimsley, Ingham, Press Bed bug nightmare

Donation protected
1 week before Christmas we found bed bugs. A fairly large infestation in our daughters room on their bunk beds. Experts have figured out that our eldest has brought them back from a Youth Organisation Camp. 
We had to get rid of their bunkbeds and the mattresses and all bedding. 
My younger daughter suffers from extremely Severe Eczema and is about to start Immunotherapy on the 30th Dec. The last thing we needed was her having no bed.
We have sought help from the Pro’s and have had the girls room treated. We need to buy them all new beds and bedding although they can’t have any new stuff in there for 3 weeks yet. 
Just as we thought the nightmare was coming under control we found one on our bed. Our 12 month old very expensive bed that we haven’t even finished paying for. We have worked tirelessly to strip our room. The job is enormous and we knew how hard it would be after spending 3 days doing  the girls room. 
The experts are going to try and save our bed but it’s not looking good and we may have to get rid of it which will cost us a further £3000 that we don’t have. The girls room has already cost us £1000 that we don’t have. 
Sadly now on the eve of 22nd Dec we have found evidence they have got into our little boys room. We have broken down time and time again in the last 5 days. We may have to get rid of all his stuff too. 
I haven’t worked properly for months as I’ve been recovering from a hysterectomy which was the conclusion of a 2 year battle with my uterus that was trying to kill me. It really nearly did when I developed severe sepsis 2 years ago. 
We have our wedding booked for 8 weeks time and right now we may have to cancel our plans as we estimate that this could cost us £5000 in fee’s for the professionals and new beds. 
We need help desperately. Please, if you can help us financially so we don’t drown in debt? Even just share this for others to see. 
I’ve been told we have just been really unlucky. I hear that a lot. 

We are devastated,exhausted, panicked and completely knocked down. The kids have no beds to sleep in over Xmas, Jonny and I are on the lounge floor. 

Anything at all anyone can do to help will be eternally appreciated. 

Yours sincerely 
One stressed Mamma
