Help Emma and John have a healthy baby

Emma and John have had to live through the unbelievable tragedy of saying goodbye to 3 very precious babies - Esmae, Ellie and most recently Elliot. Jacob is desperate to be a big brother.

Unfortunately Emma and John's babies are always potentially affected by deadly genetic illnesses called CHAOS syndrome and Fraser Syndrome. A quick Google will tell you how awful these conditions are and how they are a death sentence for their precious babies.

The only way to ensure any future babies do not have this terrible condition is to pay for private IVF - which would include a scientific test to pick up the problematic genes and avoid using them during the IVF process. This would guarantee they won't have this genetic problem and will avoid so much pain and suffering.

As the NHS won't fund this Emma and John are facing a massive financial commitment to fund it themselves.

As we all know they are both good and caring people. They have raised thousands of pounds for the hospital's Baby Bereavement fund in Esmae, Ellie and Elliots name which has supported many other families who have had the heartbreakingly say goodbye to their babies. But Emma and John won't take a penny for themselves. They have put off the idea of trying to raise money for their IVF because they are just too nice and humble. Well that's about to change!

As their hospital Chaplain I have cared for all 3 of their precious angel babies and officiated their funerals. I won't be doing another one for them because this gofundme is going to help them fund their IVF so they can bring home a happy healthy baby! It will cost about £15,000 so I thought we could help them make a dent in that together.

So whatever you can give will help. I know they are surrounded by so many supportive people so I'm going to ask you to donate if you can, spread the word if you can't, and of course continue to be by their side through all of this.

Thank you so much for your support and in honour of little Esmae, Ellie and Elliot please donate for their sibling to be happy and healthy.
