Hi I am fundraising for this lovey family who have been to absolute hell and back lately.

Kirsty has been unable to work due to needing to be at her sons bedside while he goes through something even as an adult we couldn’t imagine. Im hoping to raise some funds to help the family with the financial difficulties they are currently in and unsure of when it will end.

Your child going through this is bad enough never mind without having financial strain to contend with. Im hoping we can just lighten that burden for them slightly ❤️

Kirsty (Ollies mum) is honestly one of the most lovely, caring people i have ever met and she deserves this help more then anyone. So please lets pull together and help this family, put yourself in their shoes and donate whatever you can however big or small. Please also share to your page to help as many people see as possible

Heres some of Ollies story in his Mums words

Ollie is now 12 years old he was diagnosed aged 11 with chronic myeloid leukaemia - a lifelong blood cancer which is usually treated with TKIs (chemotherapy in tablet form) after switching twice his disease burden was still too high and his treatment was classed as failure. His consultant team decided to then opt for a bone marrow transplant which is his only chance for a potential cure.

His treatments are under Leeds general infirmary which means he is always 70 miles away from home and he is currently recovering from said transplant which took place on the 3rd February 2026 - expected stay here is 6-8 weeks after transplant but after being given 2 aggressive chemos he suffered with mucasitis needing light therapy & has developed VOD which is a liver complication that blocks the blood vessels in the liver and causes fluid build up within his body he’s on week 3 of treatment for that and has regular medicine to make him wee the excess fluid out.

He’s receiving lots of IV medications for sickness, GVHD, his liver, spleen, anti fungals, anti virals, immunosuppressants and he is struggling to eat/drink well, sleep and move off his IVs to take the meds orally/NG tube as he was so sick with total body irradiation that he’s built up a huge anxiety around putting things in his mouth, when he sees his meds he instantly starts borking so at the minute he is only managing NG meds whilst he’s asleep which will prelong his hospital stay. He cannot come home until they’re happy he will take them all outside the hospital as his immune system will take upto a year to recover from its wipe out and new cells.

We are a family of 8 and currently have no idea when I will return back to work due to Oliver being high risk for infections and needing to isolate for 6 months once we are allowed home. This has been such a hard 15 months for Oliver and us as a whole, we are praying every day that our son will beat this and be able to forfil a long life with no relapses. He is receiving the best care we could hope for & we are so grateful to Leeds and his donor and every single person that continues to message, call and show ollie and us support #LetsGoChamp
