Hi everyone,

We are reaching out to our community to ask for an urgent helping hand for a truly special family who mean the world to so many of us, Nat, Chris, and their children, Maddison and Taylor.

Maddison is about to celebrate a massive milestone as she turns 18 this December, but right now, she is facing the hardest fight of her life. For her entire life, Maddison has been a medical mystery. Despite almost two decades of endless tests, doctors and specialists are completely bewildered and have no answers. Living with a complex, unexplained condition is an incredibly heavy weight to carry, but the terrifying reality is that without a diagnosis, finding effective treatment options is a constant struggle.

Maddison has always been known for her incredible smile and her brilliant, sassy personality throughout her health battles. But right now, she is the most unwell she has ever been, and she is simply too ill for any sass.

She has spent the last three months in and out of the hospital, and this ongoing crisis has pushed the entire family to their absolute limit, physically, mentally, and financially. To be right by Maddison's side where they need to be, both Nat and Chris have struggled to maintain regular work, putting an overwhelming strain on their everyday lives. Through all of this, their son, Taylor, has been carrying his own quiet, heart-breaking burden as he watches his family navigate this constant turmoil.

More than anything, we just want to get Maddison back home where she belongs, comfortable and doing what she loves most. And, would you believe it, that means sitting on the sofa watching medical documentaries! Even after everything she goes through, that is where she is happiest.

Nat and Chris are always the first to support others, but right now, the whole family needs us. We want to wrap our arms around them and take away the overwhelming worry of mounting bills, travel costs, and lost income. They need to be able to focus entirely on supporting Taylor and fighting for Maddison during this terrifying time.

Important Note for Donors:

This page has been set up as a personal crowdfunding appeal to support the Cox family directly. Every penny raised will go straight into Nat and Chris's personal bank account to help cover their living costs, travel, and lost income during this crisis. Because the funds are going directly to an individual family in need and not to a registered charity, Gift Aid cannot be claimed on your donations. Please make sure to leave the Gift Aid box unticked at checkout.

Any donation you can spare, no matter how big or small, will make a monumental difference and will be received with the absolute deepest gratitude. If you aren't able to donate right now, simply sending a message of love or sharing this page with your friends and family would mean more than you know.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible kindness, love, and support.
