Ollie's Wishes ❤️

As many of you may already know at the beginning of the year, every parents worst nightmare became a reality for our dear friends Lisa Kelly & Michael Raftery. They were told that after a short illness, tests had confirmed that their kind, beautiful, clever 13 year old son Ollie has a very aggressive form of cancer in his brain and spine.

The tumours were treated with a course of radiotherapy, but sadly, the prognosis was not what anyone wanted to hear.

We do not know how much time we will have with Ollie, but we do know that the time that remains will be filled with as much love, fun, and good memories we can make happen!

With all of this in mind we would like to raise as much money as possible to take away some of the financial pressures they are facing but also make sure the next chapter is the happiest it can be & allow them to make as many memories as possible to treasure in times to come.

The next stage of Ollies life will not be easy, he is already having mobility issues, but like his parents, his strength is immense, and he's battling on with a sparkle in his eyes and a smile. Friends and family around him take his lead by continuing to have hope & positivity as hard as it may be at times.

So, this fund has been set up to accomplish as much as we can!

Times are hard for everyone right now & we appreciate that, but please donate as much as you can to help make this time as stress free as it possibly can be, worries about bills, rent etc is not what this family need.

We will also be organising a local benefit night to come together, so welcome any gifts/donations towards a draw that will be held. We will put more details online as soon as we have the information for you all.

Please contact Paula or Sema if you have any questions or ideas for fundraising or offers of help. The family has asked not to be contacted at present, as you can imagine the days are extremely busy & Ollies needs are the most important thing, time is precious.

Keep Ollie in your thoughts and prayers x

Thank you so much x
