Help Perez and his children bring Gloria to the UK

This is an emergency.

Perez is a gentle, doting father who lives in Manchester with his two young children, C (3) and S (4). The children's mum and Perez's wife, Gloria, is in Uganda and desperately wants to come and live with her husband and children. Sadly, Perez is extremely ill, he has sickle cell anaemia, pulmonary embolism, pancreatitis, DVT along with another, more troubling disease, has recently suffered a stroke and frequently needs hospital care. When this happens, he relies on the kindness of his friends to help look after the children. However, if those friends are unavailable, Perez cannot go to hospital and has to remain at home, seriously poorly while continuing to do his best for his two young children. Perez's health is deteriorating and him relying on friends for childcare is not sustainable.

The children are already having nightmares about their dad not being there when they wake up and witnessing the only parent that lives with them being so ill is having a hugely negative impact on their emotional health. They are now looking at the possibility of having to go in to emergency foster care if Perez becomes too ill to look after them. Perez is trying to get a visa for his wife/ the children's mum to come to the UK and has a charity who are helping him with this, but it is an extremely lengthy process and we need her and she wants to be here as soon as possible. The quickest way to solve the visa issue is to pay; this would be £1,538 for the visa and £1,872 for the NHS surcharge, and Perez has no way of funding it. I have asked dozens of charities if they can assist but none are able to do so. This is why we are asking for your help.

I have asked the charity that is helping Perez with his visa to hold all money raised by this.

Please feel free to message with any queries or funding advice.

Thanks.
