Support for Shmee! Let’s kick Cancers butt!

Hello All,

I am doing this on behalf of my sister Natalie to help her support her children whilst our Beautiful Angel Bethany (AKA Shmee) fights Cancer!

Five year old Bethany was diagnosed in March with Ewings Sarcoma which is a rare and aggressive cancer. She has a tumour in her chest cavity and unfortunately the cancer has spread to her clavicle bone.

Currently Bethany has had nine rounds of chemo and is shortly going to undergo surgery. After this she will have 5 more rounds of chemo and radiotherapy along side this. This will mean she will be in GOSH a lot more than usual.

Unfortunately this is not the only issues they face. Natalie was also served a no fault section 21 in March too. Due to Bethany’s treatments Natalie is unable to work as things change very quickly, there is lots of hospital stays and Natalie is always there to support Bethany. She is pretty much an expert when it comes to cancer treatments and drugs!

As some of you may know unfortunately benefits do not cover your total rent amount Natalie always topped up with her wages which she is now unable to do. The council are trying to find somewhere but you cannot privately rent a property for the amount you receive and the council waiting lists are long. You can of course claim disability living allowance however the waiting time is five months and in the mean time you get nothing. Natalie can also claim carers allowance but once again in order to do this you need a letter from the DLA to provide to universal credit which takes 5 months! These financial problems are another stressor when you are trying to take care of a child with cancer.

To say Natalie, Oscar, Maxwell and Bethany have been through the mill is an understatement! This money will go to Natalie to alleviate the financial pressure and help her spoil the kids during these difficult times.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Lots of love from the whole family! Xxx
