It is with a broken heart that I have to write this.

On 17th May 2025, After a sudden and cruel case of Sepsis, we lost our lively, funny, beautiful little Rico at the age of only 7.

Rico was a vibrant character, always full of life and smile on his face. He kept his mum, Chloe, on her toes, never a dull moment.

Despite him being severely autistic and non verbal, he was always able to light up a room with his loving energy.

He will be missed beyond words.

No mother should ever have to bury their child.

What should have been plans for an 8th birthday party in June, have turned into funeral arrangements.

I have started this fundraiser for his mum chloe, who is inconsolable beyond measure, as no mother is prepared to arrange their own child’s funeral, mentally, emotionally and financially.

Please give anything you can during this awful time so that we can hopefully relieve some of the pressure on chloe and she can give her only son the best send off possible.
