Please help buy a caravan to make Oliver’s dream come true

Hi - my name is Jenny and this is my sons story - In the early hours of the 19th February 2024, Oliver woke up showing obvious stroke symptoms with a drooped face, left side weakness and loss of control of his bladder. He woke me up with a mixture of him laughing and crying in an attempt to talk to me. As a mother and with him being only 8 years old it was the most frightening experience of my life but I had to stay strong and act quick to save my boy. Oliver was initially taken to our local hospital where he was diagnosed with a blocked artery in his neck which had resulted in a stroke and he was rushed to a specialist stroke hospital for urgent surgery to remove the blood clot. We had the best team of neurologists and surgeons who thankfully saved his life and he was transferred later to a local children’s hospital to receive therapy and recover the best he could. We found out that the stroke was caused by a dissected artery in Oliver’s neck caused by an unknown injury. One of the most rarest strokes to ever happen to a child and I was told it’s only usually seen in children when they’ve been in serious accidents such as a car accident. Oliver has ASD, Tourette’s and Hyper-mobility and at this stage it is thought that Oliver may have moved his neck too quickly and too far or landed on it funny when playing or swimming due to his hyper-mobility. We might never know the cause of his dissected artery. Oliver has recovered well although his artery is still currently dissected but he is on treatment to prevent this happening again. He also still has some left side weakness and fatigue. The care Oliver was provided with by the specialist hospitals was outstanding and no words could describe how thankful I am for that and we hope due to their continued care that he can and will recover fully in the near future. There is still a lot of risks at the moment due to his artery needing to heal, he can’t be in crowded places and so the 6 week holidays where we would usually go to theme parts, play centres and holidays are not going to be possible. Oliver has dreamt of us having our own caravan and this would be the only way for us to be able to let him just be a child in the summer, picking small safe parks without any crowds so he can have some freedom but be safe. The 6 weeks holiday start in 7 days time and whilst I’ve been able to save a bit towards a caravan, one that’s working and safe is a couple of months away for us and then the holidays would be over.. any help and support is hugely appreciated
