PLEASE HELP KATELYN BRACKEN

This young lady Katelyn Bracken is 17 years old from Farranree, Cork. Three years ago she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma. Unfortunately Katelyn found out last September that the cancer was back after she was feeling pain in the same area as before. After numerous scans over the last few months, we found out at the end of March that her tumours are inoperable as there is more than one tumour in a risky area so surgery isn’t an option. The treatment she needs is only available in Rotterdam, Holland.

This means that Katelyn and her parents will have to move to Rotterdam while she receives this treatment. Their costs will accumulate quickly between accommodation, meals, etc. While they are in Rotterdam, Katelyn’s younger siblings, Danielle and Kaiden, will be looked after by family here in Cork. We are trying to make life a little easier financially for Katelyn and her family while they go through this again. Any help will be massively appreciated.
