My dearest friend, Ana Paula, received the most devastating news possible. Like so many others, of all ages and backgrounds, Ana Paula was diagnosed with bowel cancer and her life went from being a hurricane of energy and love to one of fear, despair, anger, confusion and worry. Ana Paula is a hurricane of energy but wonderful velvet of love and loyalty.

We are trying to ease some of her worries by fundraising to help with the cost of living and monthly bills, so that she can fully focus on the fight and the unknown ahead.

We are very grateful for any help possible, any amount is welcomed and a light of hope in these dark moments.

Ana Paula is facing the biggest challenge of her life with her usual positivity but it's already proving very challenging.

Please help our friend and help us alleviate some of her concerns by supporting with whatever you can.

We are forever thankfull of your generosity and love.

Please accept our deepest thanks and love forever.

We've tried Macmillan and universal credit to no avail:
