Hi my name is Lisa I’m the mother of Reece ! On June the 28th last year Reece was sadly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. He began chemotherapy straight away at The Royal Marsden in Sutton ,but three days into his treatment Reece developed pneumonia and sepsis and was rushed into the critical care unit at the Marsden in Chelsea , where he nearly lost his life! But the staff battled to save him and he himself fought hard but he was in a coma for nearly ten weeks.after coming out of his coma whilst still receiving treatment for his leukemia Reece had to learn to eat , talk and walk again which he smashed quicker than the hospital imagined. In January this year we got the fantastic news that Reece was cured of his leukemia. But just two months later we got the devastating news it had returned and he would need a stem cell transplant to save him. which is due to happen next week if all goes well! As you can imagine for Reece his four siblings and us his parents it has been a traumatic time not only emotionally but financially too. With Reece being treated in Sutton and us living in Hastings the travel expenses alone are very costly. And we have no idea how long Reece will be in hospital ,but we do know that the transplant is going to be a real testing time for us all .I’m reaching out to ask for help which for me is a big deal because i hate asking for help im more of a struggle in silence kind of person ! But if anyone can just spare the smallest amount to help relieve some of our financial burden it would mean the world to us. And once our nightmare is over I will pay it forward to other families struggling like us ! Many thanks for reading. Much love to you all
