<div>Hi my name is Debbie and I have started this Go Fund Me in honour of my close friend Stuart who was a victim of a serious assault on the 25th May 2026 in Sidcup Kent.   Stuart sustained several head injuries which were so severe sadly he could not recover from them. He succumbed to his terrible injuries five days after this awful attack,  leaving his family and friends devastated. His distraught family really need some help regarding the funeral costs - money is tight and we all really want to give Stu the best send off possible - just as he would have wanted for us all. The last thing his family need at this time is financial worry along with the other terrible burden they have to bear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stuart's life was cruelly taken when he had so much to look forward to - he was due to start a new job as a bus driver on the 1st June but sadly this terrible unwarranted attack has robbed him of his future - and his family's also.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stuart was full of life and the one of the kindest people I have ever met - he made friends wherever he went and would always help anyone out. His loss is devastating for his mother, daughter and nephews along with his friends of which he had so many.  He will be missed forever, a rare beacon of sunshine that has been diminished through no fault of his own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family would be so grateful for any donation no matter how small - it would mean the world to us all as we try to navigate our way in a world without our beloved Stuart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to the nature of the incident there is no date for the funeral yet but this will of course be updated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and please share far and wide - it would be so appreciated.
</div>

Stuart Tickner - Justice for Stuart - help with funeral cost

<div>Our beautiful boy Sidney has been diagnosed with type 1 SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). SMA is a genetic neuromuscular condition that causes muscle weakness and wasting due to the loss of motor neurons. It is a degenerative disease which if left untreated is fatal. <strong>Most babies with type 1 SMA do not reach the age of 2.</strong>
</div>

<div><br />At around 4 months old we realised something wasn't quite right with Sid. He wasn't hitting the expected milestones that babies should at his age. He was unable to support his head, he stopped kicking his legs, and the movement in his arms was getting worse rather than better. He started to struggle with feeding, refusing to take his bottle and showing signs of respiratory distress. A week after bringing him into hospital, blood tests confirmed our worst nightmare. 
</div>

</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>There is currently no cure for SMA, but there are now 3 different treatments available. Sidney has been fortunate enough to receive one of them, Zolgensma, but there are two other treatments out there which are being widely used alongside Zolgensma with fantastic results. Unfortunately the NHS have rejected the licensing of the drug that we would like Sid to receive due to costs. <strong>If the NHS do not manage to strike a deal with the pharmaceutical company soon, then with your help we would dearly love to raise enough money to get him that drug even if it means taking him abroad to get it.</strong>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We are raising funds for:
</div>

<ul>
<li><strong>Further treatment</strong>. Many children all over the world with type 1 SMA are thriving and living near to normal lives. They are able to breathe independently, feed without a tube, sit up, crawl, roll over, and some can even walk! This is because alongside Zolgensma, many are also taking another drug called <strong>Risdiplam</strong> which is not available in the UK. This is a daily drug that Sid would need to take and would <strong>cost around £250,000 annually</strong>. Studies have shown its effectiveness when used alongside Zolgensma. The only reason it isn't offered in the UK is purely due to its cost, which means that Sid won't have the same chances that those other children do. It just seems so unfair. Why should one child have access to it, but a child in the UK doesn't?
</li>

<li><strong>Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and other specialist therapy sessions</strong>. Whilst Zolgensma is a fantastic treatment, as one Doctor described to us <strong>"Zolgensma alone is like going to war with the best machine gun, but with no bullets"</strong>. This is why it is so important that Sid has 1:1 sessions like this to run alongside his treatment.
</li>

<li><strong>Specialist equipment</strong> 
</li>

<li><strong>House adaptations</strong> 
</li>

<li><strong>Bills! </strong>Finally, and bluntly put, our ability to keep a roof over our heads and pay our bills! Aden has not been to work for around a month and will not be able to return to work until Sidney is off of his steroids which will be at least 2 more months. The steroids completely suppress Sidney's immune system so we are having to shield as a family to ensure that he is not at risk from infection. 
</li>

</ul>
<div>We really appreciate you taking the time to read through Sidney's story and to try and understand what his condition involves and why we are fundraising for him. Being told that your child has a life limiting disease is just something that you never think will happen to you. It's something that happens to other people. The people you see on TV or on social media or that you hear about from other people. But here we are. We are those people. Sidney is that baby. It's not how you planned things, every morning you open your eyes thinking that it was just a nightmare. And then you realise it's your reality. These are the cards you've been dealt and somehow, in some way, you just have to dig deep and carry on as best you can. Because your baby needs you so you have to be strong. 
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>So here we are asking for your help. We never thought this would be us. We are the ones who donate to these kinds of pages, not the ones setting them up. But sometimes your world is just turned upside down and you need the charity of others. If you are not in the position to donate, then please share Sid's story as far and as wide as you can on every platform you can. Our beautiful boy, Mummy, Daddy and your big sister Nancy won't let you down. You are our Super Sidney Cookie, and we know you will fight as hard as you can!

Help Super Sidney Fight SMA

Harrison was born on 20th October 2019 with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) affecting his ability to hear. He failed the initial 1st &amp; 2nd hearing test before he was diagnosed with the virus. Harrison has a profound hearing loss in his right ear and a moderate loss in his left ear. Although he is currently able to wear prescribed hearing aids which do provide some benefits, at least in his left ear, through recent testing it appears his left ear's hearing may be deteriorating. Hearing is a crucial part of a child's development in order to learn speech, attain developmental milestones and be able to communicate with others. 

A cochlear implant was suggested to us by his infectious diseases specialist but unfortunately he doesn't currently meet the NHS standard for implantation. As parents, we want to give Harrison the best possible opportunities in life and as such would like to ask you for your help to provide Harrison with the best capability of hearing he can have. The implant can provide the best benefit when surgery is performed at the earliest possible stage, especially for a young baby like Harrison. The cost of implantation can be very high when paid for privately so any help would be extremely appreciated. We are still in the very early stages of the process but hope by starting this page you can share Harrison's journey with us. #HelpHarrisonHear

Thank you
