❤️ Help Our Beautiful Grandson Declan

Our beautiful grandson Declan Lawrie is only 11 years old, and today he began chemotherapy after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his lower left leg.

Declan has a twin brother, Austin, and his mum, Tash, and dad, Brent, are facing the most frightening journey any parent could imagine.

After around 10 weeks of chemotherapy, Declan will face major surgery. The options may include amputation, rotationplasty or limb-lengthening surgery, followed by a long and difficult road of treatment, recovery and rehabilitation.

As his grandmother, it breaks my heart to see this beautiful young boy having to face something so incredibly difficult.

Tash desperately wants to be able to take around a year off work so she can be there for Declan every step of the way — through the chemo, surgery, hospital stays, recovery and the many challenges ahead.

But being away from work for such a long time will put enormous financial pressure on their family.

We are asking for your help to give Tash and Brent some financial breathing space, so they can concentrate on what matters most — their beautiful son.

Every donation, no matter how small, will mean so much to our family. And if you aren’t able to donate, simply sharing Declan’s story can help us reach people who can.

Please help us surround Declan, Austin, Tash and Brent with love, strength and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Fight hard, our beautiful Declan. ❤️

Grandma loves you more than words could ever say.
