Help Us Give Cualli Every Chance 
 
Cualli is just a year and a half old. 
 
He is a happy, music-loving little boy who absolutely adores his big brother and his doggy. He is full of personality, love and joy — and he has already had to endure far more than any child should. 
 
For an entire year, we could visibly see that something was wrong with our beautiful boy. We repeatedly brought our concerns to doctors, but time and again, we were dismissed. 
 
It was only after we made a formal complaint about the delayed results of an MRI that Cualli’s case was finally flagged. We were brought in immediately for further testing, and very quickly we were given the devastating answer we had been desperately hoping we would never hear: 
 
Cualli has Cancer..
 
Our world changed in that moment. 
 
Since then, we have given our absolute all to his recovery. We have explored every possible avenue of support and taken a holistic approach alongside his medical treatment. 
 
We are incredibly proud of how strong Cualli has been throughout everything he has endured. 
 
But this is a long battle, and we still have a very long road ahead. 

Cualli has a very rare and aggressive type of a tumour called Rhabdomyosarcoma that is difficult to treat and requires a very long and multi targeted approach to a cure.
 
Cualli is continuing his treatment and we now need to travel to Manchester for six weeks of specialist radiotherapy treatment. 
 
And this will not be the end of his journey. 

The chemotherapy will then continue in Crumlin for the next year and half. 
 
Following this treatment protocol, Cualli will need extensive therapeutic support for many years as he recovers from everything his little body and mind have been through. 
 
We want to be able to give him that support for as long as he needs it. 
 
We also need to be there for Cualli’s big brother. We need the time and freedom to stay home, care for Cualli, support his big brother and give our family the stability, love and presence they need during this incredibly painful time. 
 
Why we are asking for help 
 
The funds raised will help us keep our family Farm business; Gaelic Fungi Farms running in the background while we take the necessary time to be at home with our children and focus on Cualli’s recovery. 
 
This will allow us to maintain our livelihood while continuing, where possible, to provide the medicinal mushrooms and products our community relies on. 
 
Most importantly, it will give us the breathing room to be parents first. 
 
Please help us give Cualli every chance. 
 
We have always believed that Gaelic Fungi Farms was about more than mushrooms. It has become a community, and so many of you have supported our family along the way. 
 
Now we are asking that community to stand beside us during the hardest chapter of our lives. 
 
Your support will help us continue Cualli’s treatment, provide the therapeutic care he will need for years to come, keep our farm alive and — most importantly — allow us to be there for our children when they need us most. 
 
If you can donate, share our story or simply help us spread the word, we will be forever grateful. 
 
We are fighting for our boy every single day. 
 
Thank you for standing with Cualli and our family, and for helping us give him every chance. ❤️
