My name is Esther, and I am raising funds to give my beautiful nine-year-old nephew, Leon, the farewell he truly deserves after he sadly passed away on 14 April 2026.

Leon lived with a rare condition called HADDs syndrome and faced more challenges in his short life than most of us could ever imagine. Yet, through it all, he remained full of courage, warmth and a smile that could light up any room. He did not let his struggles define him. Instead, he showed everyone around him what strength, resilience and pure love really look like.

Leon was the kind of child who left a lasting imprint on your heart. His bravery was quiet but powerful, and his spirit was something truly special.

Before he passed, Leon was granted a wish to visit Disneyland through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It was something he looked forward to, a moment of magic meant just for him. Sadly, his condition meant he was never able to go. There were so many simple joys and experiences that Leon was never given the chance to have, things many of us take for granted every single day.

Now, all we want is to give him something beautiful in return.

We want to give Leon a send-off filled with the love, dignity and magic he deserved in life. A goodbye that reflects the incredible boy he was, and the impact he had on everyone lucky enough to know him.

At a time like this, there are no words that can truly ease the pain. But any support, no matter how small, will help us honour Leon in the most meaningful way possible and ensure his final journey is one filled with the love he gave so freely.

If you are able to help, or even just share Leon’s story, it would mean more than we can ever express.

Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and for helping us celebrate Leon’s life.
