<div>My beautiful friend Belinda has been dealt the cruelest blow and needs your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her story is below:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>So I'll start from the start, when the future didn't seem so terrifying and I wasn't facing leaving my family.</em>
</div>
<div><em>Wayne and I met a couple of weeks before Christmas in 2018. To say that Christmas time is my favourite time of year is a total understatement and meeting Wayne at this time made it so much more fun. He quickly noticed my peculiarities, accepted them, and loved me just as I am. I've never known someone to just understand me, understand my personality, just know me and love me anyway. We came in to each others lives when my daughter Charlotte was 13 and Wayne's daughters Genevieve and Savannah were 4 and 6. We have both worked hard to build relationships with the girls, but no one has worked harder than Wayne trying to win over a 13 year old. Lots of Crispy Cremes and Slurpees were consumed in the building of their relationship, and 6 years on I love watching their banter and ridiculous jokes as well as the way Wayne supports and accepts Charlotte as his own.</em>
</div>
<div><em>We have now grown in to our beautiful blended family of 8, adding our 2 sons Henry and</em>
</div>
<div><em>George to the mix and being blessed with our grandson Theodore. Our children are now 19,12,10,2.5, and 9 months and Charlottes son is 9 months.</em>
</div>
<div><em>In September 2023, 2 weeks after we had George, I had the dreaded "we found a mass" converstation with my GP. It wasn't until November 2023 that it was diagnosed as Metastatic Pancreatic NeuroEndocrine cancer. This rocked our world, but I thought I'm strong I can fight it. Turns out I'm not...and I can't. I have been given less than 2 years prognosis, and recently been advised that the Chemotherapy is not working. I don't know our next steps, I don't know how long I have left. But I do know that I love Wayne, I love our family, our life that we have built, and our home.</em>
</div>
<div><em>I have been on maternity leave for almost 12 months, now coming to terms with having to medically resign and Wayne has not returned to work after his paternity leave so he can help me with medical appointments and running the household.  We are desperately trying to secure our home so that our family has some stability in such an unstable situation, but we need help.  Without the help, it will be impossible.</em>
