Update...
It's with sadness the horrible news that Johnny kavanagh, is as I write this, losing his battle to cancer and about to take his final breathes..
As I write this a family is saying goodbye to a dad and loving partner..
Lillymay ages 14 has wrote a few words which I am about to share..
if people could please support this family. It would be really appreciated. It's hard enough going through all this, without having g to worry about money.
Please have a read of what Lillymay has wrote beautifully about her dad. Thank you
"Hello guys, it's Lillymay here just using my mom's account I got reported awhile back haha, I just wanna say, I realised when your young you think life is fun and games, easy, happy, no wars or that there's no people dying but as you grow you realize how tough life is...I lost an amazing brother, James. He was always there for me he was my best friend, always made me laugh but now he's in a better place. Johnny Atkinson, my wonderful father is dying with cancer , doesn't have long left..gets weaker and weaker every day, he was my hero. The man I looked up to. The only man I'd actually need in my life. He thought me from right and wrong. Watched me take my first steps, hear me say my first words, held my hand when I was sick...now I have to do that for him watch him take his last steps out of the world, hear his last words and hold his hand while he takes his last breath...but that's it right? I promised him I'd love him and feed him , always need him when he gets grey and old. He's like a baby laying in the care bed, peaceful looking and I hope he takes his last breath like that... peacefully, no pain, no fear just him knowing, Audrey his wonderful wife, Leo his smart and strong son, Danny his smart and outgoing son will be by his side as well as his brothers and sisters. And when he does pass his mother, his guardian angel will be there to take his hand and James to take his other hand and walk him through the gates of a new world , a peaceful world, heaven. The best leave us so quickly they were angels on Earth who finally got their wings when it was time to leave and maybe one day when it's your time to pass....they'll take your hand too and never let go...thank u for reading ~Lillymay"
Original request and reason for Go Fund Me Account:
(I have a big request of people. I'm asking anyone who can get involved to please help. Today I visited Audrey Kavanagh for a chat. She has been telling me of the trauma, tragedy and heartache her family have gone through in the last 4 weeks. I asked her did she mind me setting up this Go Fund Me account and she said it was OK.
One month ago she was rushed into hospital with a serious condition which left her in ICU and having to have surgery she managed to come through it but is still not in the best of health. Soon after she arrived home she was looking out her window as she watched ambulances flash by. Both her and her partner were hoping whoever they were for was alright which shortly after revealed, they were for her 14 yr old son Leo. Leo had fallen from the Railway bridge in Longford town onto the tracks below some 25 feet in hight. He was rushed to the hospital, lucky to have kept his life, but had both legs broken. One shattered which both now have bars and screws holding them together. Leo is now at present wheelchair bound.
But this was not all, if this wasn't enough for one family to bare. On the 13th of July Audrey went up to her other son James room to find him in and extremely bad condition. James 25 suffered with epileptic seizures. He was after taking a serious one this time. They rang 999 and carried out resuscitation on him while waiting on paramedics to arrive. Unfortunately there was nothing anyone could and James left this earth leaving his mother, father a sister and bother behind.
It was so sad listening to Audrey's pain today. She told me how little 13 yr old, lilly-may cryed her eyes out and broke down asking would this happen to her also, as she to has epilepsy.
This family needs our help. We are hosting a benefit night on Saturday the 26th of August in the market bar Longford. It will be a karaoke night which Denise McNamara Flood has kindly offered to do free of charge considering the families struggles this last while. I'm asking anyone who could find it in their heart, to donate some money for this extremely sad cause. Please help cover cost of James funeral and help with travel expenses and all the extras for Leo to get better and hopefully walk again.. I would love to see something nice happen for this family and for them to know that life is not completely cruel. So lilly-may and Leo have something nice to happen for them. I really believe they deserve it now more then ever... Thank you so much for your time and we will really appreciate and donations big or small. . R.I.P James you are sadly missed)
