Our community is coming together to support a wonderful local family during an unimaginably difficult time.

Recently, their 8-year-old, daughter, Lowen, suffered a stroke and is now in hospital, facing a long road to recovery. While her family remains hopeful and focused on helping her heal, their lives have been turned upside down overnight.

Thanks to the NHS, her medical treatment is being fully covered. However, the family is facing many additional costs that come with having a seriously ill child in hospital far from home. The hospital is approximately three hours away, meaning frequent travel, meals away from home, and significant time away from work.

Her parents are currently doing everything they can to juggle work, hospital visits, and family life. As you can imagine, the emotional strain is immense, and financial pressures are quickly adding up.

Anyone who knows this family knows how kind, caring, and supportive they are. Right now, we'd love to give them one less thing to worry about.

Funds raised will help cover: • Travel costs to and from the hospital • Accommodation close to the hospital • Meals while away from home • Lost income during their daughter's recovery • Other unexpected expenses that arise during this challenging time

Most importantly, this support will allow them to focus on what matters most: being together and helping their little girl recover.

Although the weeks and months ahead may be challenging, we know she is a bright, determined young girl with so much ahead of her. So many people overcome incredible obstacles and go on to achieve amazing things, and we believe she has every opportunity to do the same.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it will make a genuine difference. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
