Help Thomas get his surgeries ❤

*****NEW UPDATE***** 

Thomas's 2nd surgery is due to take place at some point in April date tbc. This surgery is the real game changer and this will help with his speech, hearing, eating and growth of teeth. Plenty of time to raise the funds as we have alot more notice this time. Fingers cross we can reach the goal ❤ major thanks to everyone who has either donated, shared and just supported us through this journey so far I can not thank you all enough. But we are nearly there ✌ soon Thomas will be able to live a normal life and hit milestones just like other children his age. Please help us by continuing to share our story far and wide ❤

****UPDATE****

First surgery completed on the 2nd Decemeber and it was a great success, it was much harder on myself than Thomas thankfully. Going all the way to London, to the hotel then hospital just me and him was challenging. Then taking him down to be put to sleep, holding his little hand as he drifted off, was heart wrenching!! But OMG they did an amazing job and already only a week post surgery he looks amazing. So now I'm trying to get my head back in the game and continue to raise funds for his 2nd surgery in March/April. I appreciate everyone's help who have got us this far already, but i still appeal to everyone far and wide to continue to SHARE SHARE SHARE and of course donate whatever they can ❤ we can do this x

My son Thomas was born 31st July of this year. He was born with a unilateral left cleft lip and palette. Unfortunately with the delays and backlogs of covid Thomas's surgeries have already been delayed 3 times. He was due to have his first surgery at 3 months old (this month) but we are now uncertain as to when it may happen.... April at the earliest. Where as we have had it confirmed privately he could have the first before Christmas and the 2nd before the NHS could even offer the first. This is why we are seeking private treatment to help Thomas get the best and quickest care to help him long term for the rest of his life. Without this surgeries Thomas would have issues with speech, eating, hearing and issues with the growing of his teeth. Not to mention his pyshical appearance. We have been in touch with a private hospital in London who are willing to offer Thomas his first surgery in December at age 4 months. But unfortunately both surgeries come at a cost, surgeries, follow ups, consultations, travelling, accommodation etc. I reach out to the help and support of friends, family and even strangers to help a desperate and caring mother to help get my son the best start in life to help him have an amazing normal future. Also by doing this, this would also help another child move up on the NHS waiting list. Therefore helping other children to get their surgeries done sooner. All help and support greatly appreciated ❤
