</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will help us spread a little happiness in Reece’s name. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us keep his beautiful memory alive.

Keeping Reece’s Christmas Magic Alive

<div>Hi I am Reece’s mam, Donna and for the month of July I am going to be walking 20,000 steps a day which will total 620,000 steps to help raise some funds for our ICU unit. Reece should be turning 12 in July so to remember Reece and do something in his name I have decided to do a wee fundraiser.
</div>
<div>In February 24 Reece became very unwell and was intubated and on a ventilator, we didn’t know if Reece would survive and it was a very stressful and challenging time seeing your child so unwell, hooked up to machines but Reece couldn’t have been in better hands. The care and support we all received was exceptional, they went above and beyond and what makes it even more incredible is that our ICU is not a paediatric unit but they cared for Reece’s for 4 days and that came with its own set of challenges for the care team but nothing was a bother and what could have been a very negative experience they made it easier to bare and I’m so very grateful to them all and to to thank them all we would like to make a donation to unit so they can buy something that will help support other patients/families.
</div>
<div>So in Reece’s memory I hope you all get behind me help me celebrate Reece’s birthday in style by raising lots of money.
</div>
<div>Thank you all ❤️
</div>

Remembering Reece

<div>Dear friends and family,
</div>
<div>We are writing to you today with a heavy heart to ask for your support. Our beloved family member, Angelique has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and has been given only six months to live. After rounds and rounds of cancer treatment, she has made the difficult decision to stop any more chemotherapy and focus on spending quality time with her loved ones.
</div>
<div>As her condition has worsened, she has expressed her strong desire to return home to South Africa, where she can be surrounded by her family and beloved pets. However, the cost of transporting her, her children, and her pets from Scotland to South Africa is beyond our family's means. We are turning to you for help to raise the funds needed to make her last wish come true.
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise enough money to cover the cost of transporting her and her family safely, as well as the cost of setting up palliative care at home. We know how important it is for Angelique to spend her remaining time in the place she calls home. It would mean the world to her to be surrounded by the people she loves and to be able to spend her final days in the familiar surroundings of her happy place.
</div>
<div>We are asking for your help to make this happen. Every donation counts, no matter how small, and we are grateful for any amount you can contribute to help us reach our goal. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this campaign with your friends and family to help spread the word.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult time.
</div>
<div>Sincerely,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Rainbow of Hope for Angelique, bringing her home!

<div>As many of you know, our Bailey has tragically passed away on the 21st of July 2022…



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>There is nobody like Bailey. He is the most kindhearted, beautiful soul. Bailey truly had a heart of gold. Anything anybody needed, Bailey would go out of his way to make sure it was done. The most cheekiest boy but you could never be mad at him… his smile could light up a room…

<div><span>Thank you so much to all.</span><br />

Celebrate the life of Bailey Munro

<p>George Steven Watson suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on 28th August 2021. Steven was a big part of the Dillinger’s family and loved by so many, not least by his beloved mum and brother James.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>James and his mum have had to endure so much sadness and tragedy in just a short space of time that we want to show them our support and how much love we have for them at this time, by helping to raise some money to assist with the unexpected funeral costs.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>James has been the linchpin that has kept this group together whilst we all had to endure the challenges of the last 18 months. We have all relied on him to keep our spirits up and entertain us with his Dillie’s lockdown discos to help forget the stresses associated with lockdown. He did that repeatedly from that massive big heart of his ❤️
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Now it’s our turn to support him and his mum ❤️
</p>

Let’s give Steven a Dillie’s send off

Can you help Sophia to Stand Up?<br /><br />Background: <br />Sophia has Dystonic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy meaning it affects all four limbs, has poor core stability and little trunk control. Sophia is wheelchair bound and needs a lot of help to do even small tasks such a eating or holding a pen. It is an effort just to hold her head up and she is constantly working hard to keep her body upright. It’s recommended that to help strengthen her legs and to enable correct hip joint development that she stand for a minimum of 40 minutes a day which means being hoisted from her wheelchair into a standing frame and back again. She often gets uncomfortable and complains of sore or numb legs when sitting for so long as she is in her wheelchair most of the day, particularly at school. She misses quite a lot of class time during these additional transfers between equipment and also is out of class for 20-30 minutes each time she needs the toilet as once again she has to be hoisted. <br /><br />What We Are Fundraising For:<br />After a 5 week trial using a Permobile F5, we are now fundraising to buy one. This is a long term investment as she won’t grow out of it so will take her into adulthood. It enables Sophia to independently change her position when uncomfortable, or to carry out various tasks by standing up, changing the angle of her body, adjusting chair height, lying down or just to recline when muscles are tight or tired - all the things we take for granted as able bodied people.<br /><br />Just a few things she has been able to do on the trial:<br />- Stand up for the first time for a class photo, what a smile they got!!<br />- Stand up in assembly with everyone else to fully participate and sing songs. <br />- When there’s a barrier/fence blocking her view, she can stand up or if tired raise the level of the chair to see what everyone else can see.<br />- Use automated machines such as the one in Argos, as she can get high enough and close enough to use the touch screen. <br />- Being at the same level as her peers has given her so much more confidence. <br />- At choir, due to standing, her breath control and projection was so much better, a huge difference as breath control is really difficult for her. <br />....and so many more things.<br /><br />Activities that many of us take for granted mean so much to Sophia. Her face just lights up when she is able to do something she’s never been able to do before, especially the first time she stood up and moved along next to me in the standing chair, she shouted “I’m walking mummy!” �<br /><br />The independence Sophia will have using this equipment is vast, not forgetting the huge impact it will have on her physical, psychological and social well-being and development....<br /><br />Physical Medical Benefits of Standing;<br />Improve circulation, improve bone integrity and skeletal development, reduce swelling in lower extremities, decrease muscle spasms, help kidney and bladder function, strengthen cardiovascular system, lessen the progression of scoliosis, improve range of motion manage pressure on parts of the body by changing position, improve bowel function and regulatory, better respiratory function so breathing and breath control becomes easier...the list goes on. <br /><br />Psychological Benefits of Standing:<br />Increase in focus, alertness and activity level, easier to release restless energy. The increase in blood circulation means more oxygen to the brain.<br /><br />Social Benefits of Standing:<br />More confidence in engaging with peers as at the same height/level. Helps with eye contact and easier integration into social situations and society in general. A feeling of being equal and at the same level, rather than being talked down to. <br /><br />Can you please help Sophia get this life changing equipment? <br /><br />Thank you for whatever support you can manage. If you are unable to donate but would like to help, then please just share our page, we really appreciate it.<br /><br />Please watch out for our fundraising event.

Stand Up For Sophia
