Help Nigel's Family with his Terminal Cancer Care
Donation protected
Please help Nigel Taylor's wife and young family to support him in his final few weeks.
Nigel is husband to Becky and father to Tymika (aged 11), Riley (aged 8) and Keyon (aged 5). After fighting GBM for 5 years, Nigel had been given approximately 3-6 weeks to live. He is having seizures regularly and his mind is deteriorating, with dementia symptoms rapidly developing.
The goal of this fund-raiser is to help the family financially, allowing Becky to reduce her work hours to care for Nigel in his final few weeks, and help them to create some precious memories with their young children before he passes on. Funds may also be used to help with funeral costs.
This beautiful family deserve some help to make these last few weeks special.
Nigel was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM) in 2016, when a tumour the size of a tennis ball was discovered. He had surgery to remove the tumour and underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the hopes he would beat this terrible and debilitating disease. In July 2017, he went into remission.
In September 2020, the family discovered the GBM had come back. He had another surgery, however only a small portion of the tumour was able to be removed. He started on chemotherapy to prolong his life.
Last month, April 2021, Nigel was hospitalised for seizures, where an MRI showed his cancer had spread to his cerebral spinal fluid, a condition known as leptomeningial disease. This has reduced his life expectancy from months, potentially longer, to a matter of weeks.
I am Hannah Sinclair and I am setting up this fund-raiser on behalf of dear family friends, to support them in their time of need. This family also lost a brother in law and uncle in a tragic accident less than 12 months ago.
The funds will be released to Rebecca (Becky) Taylor.
