Help 5 Year Old Nevaeh Get Cancer Treatment

Nevaeh is such a beautiful, charismatic princess. Everyone who knows Nevaeh knows that she has a presence that draws you to her independent and fun-filled character.

Sadly, two years ago, I noticed a change in Nevaeh's skin, behaviour and weight and repeatedly asked the doctors to take note and see her in the hospital for a check, as I thought she had developed a skin infection that needed treatment. After nine months, they saw Nevaeh in hospital and informed her dad and me that she had lymphoma, a form of blood cancer, last May. As you can imagine, on hearing the news, we were devastated and didn't know what to do. Denial and fear overtook our ability to seek help from others; however, we now realise there is strength in asking for and receiving financial assistance.

The funds raised for Nevaeh, our 5-year-old daughter, will be used for private health insurance, treatment and care to help her progress and ensure the best outcome. These include Bioresonance (non-invasive) treatment, specialist skin products; healthcare insurance; food supplements and vitamins; medicines and procedures not covered by the insurance and childcare.

Nevaeh is very young, and as a family, we are trying to reduce as much stress, invasive treatments and chemotherapy as possible in these early stages. Her condition's impact on her includes a mental strain as she realises that the symptomatic patches on her skin are different from other people. Although, due to her kind spirit, she calls it her "gold," she often says that when her "gold" is gone and feels better, she wants to be able to eat and drink what her siblings can too!

Too often, children are diagnosed late or left untreated due to the prolonged waiting times to be seen here in England. For my daughter, I need to do my utmost to ensure that she receives the best treatment and care before it is too late. Having to think about your 5-year-olds life under these circumstances is too much for anyone.

As Nevaeh's mum, firstly, I would like to say thank you for showing interest in helping me with supporting my daughter through this difficult period. Secondly, I hope Nevaeh's story has touched you enough to help by donating whatever is in your means to prevent anything more drastic from happening to her.

 

Even if you cannot donate, sharing her story, you might find someone who can.
