Imagine fighting cancer not once, but twice within your family. That’s the devastating reality for Zaire’s parents, who are now facing an unimaginable trial for the second time.
Ten years ago, their eldest son battled cancer and survived. Now, Zaire who’s 5 has been diagnosed with the same cancer after months of testing and heartbreak. His condition is linked to a rare genetic disorder called XLP1, and the only cure is aggressive chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
Zaire will spend months in the hospital with his mum while his older brother and baby sister stay home, cared for by their dad, who is juggling full-time work and the demands of this crisis. The financial strain is crushing.
Zaire’s mum hasn’t been able to work since her maternity leave, and the cost of living with a child in the hospital is overwhelming.
A single hospital meal for her is £7 on average, that’s just one meal. Add to this the cost of travel, bills, daily necessities, and childcare for their 13-month-old daughter, and it’s simply too much for one family to bear.
This Christmas, I’m asking for your help to support this family in their time of need. Your donations will go toward:
* Nursery costs for Zaire’s baby sister
* Travel and food expenses for his mum
* Household bills and essentials
No one should have to choose between caring for their sick child and keeping the lights on at home. This family has already been through so much, and they shouldn’t have to face these challenges alone.
Let’s come together to ease their burden, show them they are not alone, and give them the financial support they need to get through this incredibly difficult time.
Please donate whatever you can, every little bit helps, and share this campaign with your friends and family.
Together, we can make a difference for Zaire and his family.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness this Christmas.
