 We are setting up this GoFundMe for Lillie, a beautiful 22-year-old young woman whose life has been turned upside down in a matter of days.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 One night, Lillie went to sleep as normal but woke up with paralysis affecting the left side of her face. Initially diagnosed with Bell’s palsy by her GP, she was prescribed steroids and antiviral medication. However, just days later, Lillie lost her ability to speak and walk.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Lillie was admitted to Furness General Hospital, where she underwent numerous investigations. Following assessment by a neurologist, she was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). During her admission, Lillie suffered multiple seizures a day, some leaving her unresponsive.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Lillie has now been discharged but remains unable to walk and has been referred for physiotherapy to help regain her mobility and independence, however they are currently unsure how affective this will be.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Although Lillie is strong-minded and has an incredible support network around her, this has understandably had a huge impact on her mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as her physical health. At just 22, facing such a sudden and life-changing condition is frightening and overwhelming.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This has also taken a significant toll on her family. Lillie currently requires 24-hour care, meaning her loved ones have had to take time off work to ensure she is safe and supported. This has placed additional emotional, practical and financial pressure on the family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are now hoping to get Lillie access to specialist FND care in Leeds. Unfortunately, she does not meet the threshold for the specialist service in Liverpool, meaning private consultation and rehabilitation are being explored as an alternative. This is where we need your help. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Donations will go towards funding Lillie’s private specialist consultations and rehabilitation, helping her access the expert support she needs to work towards regaining her speech, mobility and independence. Contributions will also help with travel to and from specialist appointments in Leeds, along with other essential treatment-related expenses.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 With Lillie requiring round-the-clock care, fundraising will also help ease some of the financial strain on her family as they take time away from work to care for her and support her recovery.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us work towards giving Lillie the best possible opportunity to access specialist care and rebuild her quality of life. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading Lillie’s story and for any support you can offer.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Let’s come together to help Lillie get the specialist care she needs and give her hope for the future she deserves. ❤️

Help Lillie Get the Specialist Treatment She Needs ❤️

<div>
 At just 39 years old, our beautiful Kayele has been fighting for her life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 12 years ago, whilst pregnant with her son Archie, Kayele almost died after suffering a tear in her aorta. She underwent life-saving surgery and was fitted with mechanical heart valves.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Against all odds, she survived.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But earlier this year, tragedy struck again.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Whilst driving, a large blood clot broke away from Kayele’s heart and travelled to her brain, causing a catastrophic stroke.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She was airlifted to Royal Preston Hospital, where she underwent an emergency thrombectomy to remove the clot.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The following day, Kayele suffered a devastating bleed on her brain. Her family were faced with the heartbreaking decision to consent to further life-saving surgery — a decompressive craniectomy to relieve the swelling and pressure on her brain.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Kayele survived, but was placed into a medically induced coma.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Seven days later, when doctors reintroduced the blood-thinning medication she requires for her mechanical heart valves, she suffered another brain bleed and needed further emergency surgery.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 For 20 agonising days, her family waited, hoping and praying she would wake up.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And then, against all odds, she did. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Kayele eventually came off the ventilator and began breathing independently. She is now at Furness General Hospital in Barrow.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But her fight is far from over.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Kayele is paralysed down her right side, and her speech and ability to communicate have been severely affected.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She is receiving physiotherapy and speech therapy, but she desperately needs more intensive specialist neurological rehabilitation to give her the best possible chance of recovery.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Unfortunately, Kayele has only been funded for 12 weeks of NHS rehabilitation, and due to her previous medical history, private medical insurance was unaffordable.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Specialist private neurological rehabilitation can cost an estimated £4,500–£8,500 PER WEEK.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That means six months of rehabilitation alone could cost £117,000–£221,000.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And sadly, due to the severity of her stroke, Kayele is likely to need ongoing care, therapy and support for the rest of her life. Her long-term needs may include specialist equipment, mobility assistance and continued rehabilitation.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That’s why we’re trying to raise an initial £150,000 to help fund specialist rehabilitation and ongoing recovery support.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 ❤️ Above everything, we want Kayele to have the best possible quality of life with her two sons, C-Jay and Archie.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 To be able to communicate with them, tell them she loves them, share memories and hopefully regain the ability to walk and enjoy everyday life with her boys.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Nobody can promise what Kayele’s recovery will look like, but we want to give her every possible opportunity.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Kayele has already fought for her life twice. Now it’s our turn to fight for her future. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please, if you can spare anything at all, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And if you can’t donate, please share. Every share could make a difference.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Let’s give Kayele the chance to live, not just survive. ❤️
