 Hi, I am a close family friend, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of Damian’s family, at their request.
</div>
<div>
 It is with immense sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that 17-year-old Damian Marecki, the beloved son of Monika and Daniel Marecki, a wonderful brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, passed away on 11 August 2026 at 6:15 pm, after more than a year of bravely battling cancer.
</div>
<div>
 For the past year, Damian fought this devastating illness with incredible courage. Sadly, despite his strength, hope and determination, the cancer was stronger. Today, his family, friends and everyone who loved him are facing the unimaginable pain of losing him.
</div>
<div>
 During this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out to our entire local community — Polish, Irish and everyone else who would like to support Damian’s family. We ask you to come together and help Monika, Daniel and their family through this unimaginable time, easing at least some of the financial burden they are now facing.
</div>
<div>
 The funds raised will help cover the costs of Damian’s funeral, burial and other expenses associated with saying goodbye to him.
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, no matter how small, will mean so much to his family. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Every share can help reach another person who may be able to support the family.
</div>
<div>
 Let us come together for Damian and his family during this unimaginable time.
</div>
<div>
 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for every donation, kind word, prayer and share.
</div>

Damian Marecki

<div>Dear Reader,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your interest in our fundraiser.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noreen is a 6 year old girl from Ballinadee in Bandon, Co. Cork. She was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia, (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - T Cell).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noreen is a bubbly and happy 6 year old girl. She is a popular member of her senior infant class in school. She lights up a room with her smile and her infectious laugh. She is loved deeply by her parents Helena and Eoin and her two brothers. Her diagnosis on Valentine's Day came as a complete shock to her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noreen is now in the care of the incredible team at Crumlin Children’s Hospital. In the past six weeks she has undergone induction chemotherapy. This treatment has unfortunately not proven to be as effective as her care team had hoped. The next phase of her treatment involves more intensive chemotherapy delivered over a shorter period of time. She may also require further treatment abroad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this time, Helena and Eoin have been unable to work as they need to be with Noreen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like a lot of young families they have normal expenses which are ongoing and additionally they have the cost of travel and staying in Dublin whilst having no income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to help reduce their stress at an already incredibly difficult time. We would be so grateful for any donation that you can make.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds will go directly to Noreen's care or the costs associated with it. Any surplus funds will be donated at her parents request to St Johns Ward, Crumlin Hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading this and for any support you can give. Positive thoughts and prayers for Noreen are much appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of the extended McCarthy and O'Mahony families.

Help support Noreen & her Family during her Leukemia Journey

<div><em>Hi, thanks for clicking on Alfie's page.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>Alfie is a 6 year old boy from Tynagh Co Galway Ireland, please read his story through the words of his parents Valerie and Ian.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>On November 5th, our world was completely shattered. In a matter of hours, our bright, beautiful boy Alfie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Just days before, he was a vibrant, carefree child who loved hurling and swimming every single week.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Looking back now with a breaking heart, the warning signs were there, disguised as ordinary childhood: quiet complaints of leg pains in the dark of night, sudden fever spikes, night sweats, and a deep fatigue we couldn't quite explain. After a birthday party at a play centre, we noticed deep bruises on his legs. We tried to comfort ourselves by thinking they were just from hurling or the bouncy castle.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>But on November 5th, Alfie came home from school early, ghostly pale and completely drained. In the emergency room, our instincts were confirmed in the most devastating way possible. Within hours, our innocent little boy was a cancer patient.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The next day, we were rushed 175 kilometers away to Crumlin. By November 7th, a central line was surgically placed in his tiny chest, and the grueling, toxic regime of chemotherapy began.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Watching your child go through this is a living nightmare. Alfie’s body has been battered by the very treatments meant to save him. He relies constantly on blood and platelet transfusions just to keep going. Worse, he has suffered rare, agonizing side effects and terrifying episodes of severe anaphylaxis—his body violently rejecting the life-saving medicines he desperately needs.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Yet, through the tears, the pain, and the terror, Alfie remains a ray of sunshine. Even when he is too weak to move, he somehow finds the strength to force a smile, breaking our hearts even more.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The cruelest part is watching what this illness has stolen from Alfie. Because he is dangerously immunocompromised, his life has shrunk to the walls of a hospital or his bedroom. He cannot go to school, he cannot play his beloved sports, and he is entirely isolated from his friends and peers. He is slipping away from the childhood he deserves.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Alfie doesn't want to be a hero; he just wants to be a normal kid. Our only wish in this world is to see the heavy shadow of this disease lifted, and to see our sweet, suffering boy healthy and happy once again.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>My name is Shane, Valerie's cousin and on Saturday August 1st i will be hiking the Slieve Felim Way with a bunch of friends to raise money for Alfie and his family. </em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>Slieve Felim Way is a 44km hike starting in Murroe Co. Limerick ending in Silvermines Co. Tipperary.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>That evening of Saturday August 1st there will fundraising event in the Church, Hall and famous Ryans Thatched Bar in the village of killoscully Co Tipperary.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>My brother Cathal Smith and host of other talented singers and musicians will have travelled from near and far to play a wide range of music.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>The road ahead is going to be agonizingly long, with Alfie’s treatment spanning two and a half to three years. The physical, emotional, and financial toll is completely overwhelming for Alfies family, they have been uprooted and torn apart just to survive. Valerie had to walk away from her full-time job to become his carer, and Ian has been forced to reduce his hours, all while they face staggering travel costs for their journeys to the hospital for Alfie’s treatment. Both of his siblings are now in childcare to allow them to be with Alfie every step of the way on this journey.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you for taking the time to read Alfie’s story and if you are able to donate, please accept Valerie, Ian, Alfie, Bobby, Harry thanks and appreciation.


</div>

Help Alfie & his family fight Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

<div>Ciao, siamo i genitori di una bimba di nome Azzurra, di un anno e mezzo. Stiamo raccogliendo dei fondi perché, a causa di un tumore celebrale raro e aggressivo, siamo costretti a trasferirci dalla Sicilia a Roma per una cura sperimentale necessaria affinché possa guarire! Ringraziamo di cuore chiunque voglia o possa partecipare. 

</div>

Una bimba solare e un sorriso che merita di ritornare

<div>I’m sharing Rick’s story because what this little boy and his mum, Vanessa, are fighting for is nothing short of extraordinary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Rick was just 18 months old, Vanessa received the devastating news that no parent is ever prepared to hear. Rick was diagnosed with Infantile Tay-Sachs disease and they were told he may only have 2 to 4 years to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Rick is still here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, Rick turned 4 years old. And for the first time in a very long time, Vanessa is not only fighting for her son’s survival — she is witnessing hope, progress and precious moments she was once told would never be possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, Vanessa took Rick to Florence, Italy, where he completed his first cycle of REAC treatment at the Istituto Rinaldi Fontani. Since beginning treatment, Rick has made incredible progress that has completely changed his quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first time in years, Vanessa is seeing improvement instead of decline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through daily physiotherapy and occupational therapy, Rick is becoming stronger, more responsive and more present. He is building stability in his body, learning to bear weight with support, spending meaningful time in his standing frame and breathing more comfortably as his swallowing improves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These milestones may seem small to some people, but for Vanessa and Rick, they are life-changing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The changes go far beyond physical progress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rick has now been seizure-free for months after previously suffering up to 60 seizures a day. His immune system has strengthened significantly, and after spending so much of his life in hospital, he has had zero hospital admissions in the past six months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first time in his life, Rick is more comfortable, more peaceful and more engaged with the world around him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And Vanessa sees it every day — in his eyes, his smiles and his strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this progress cannot stop now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To continue protecting and building on these incredible improvements, Rick urgently needs to return to Italy for two more REAC treatment cycles in July and October 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These next stages of treatment are essential to help strengthen the progress Rick has made, improve his comfort and quality of life, and potentially slow the progression of this devastating disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For Vanessa, this journey has never been about chasing miracles or promises. It has been about giving her son more comfort, more dignity, more smiles and, most importantly, more time together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a single mum, full-time carer and full-time worker, the emotional and financial weight Vanessa carries is unimaginable. The costs of international medical travel, treatment, accommodation, specialised care and ongoing support are simply beyond what she can manage alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family now needs to raise $140,000 AUD to make these next treatment cycles possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go directly towards Rick’s treatment, medical travel, flights, accommodation, specialised equipment and the daily care costs needed to support him throughout this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be withdrawn directly by Vanessa and used solely for Rick’s treatment and care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know there are so many people who will read Rick’s story and feel inspired by the courage, resilience and hope this little boy carries every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can help in any way — through a donation, sharing this page or simply keeping Rick and Vanessa in your thoughts — it would mean more than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing beside Rick and Vanessa as they continue fighting for more time, more memories and more life together.
</div>
<div><br />

Emergency Relief for Venezuela Earthquake Victims

<div>

</div>Dear African Village Life family,
<br /><br />Because of your incredible love and generosity, we have already purchased land for Mama Chogo’s family. Thank you for making this dream possible.
<br /><br />Now, we are ready to begin building her safe, spacious 3-bedroom dream home. Mama Chogo’s family is still living in a humble mud house, and together we can help them move into a home filled with dignity, comfort, and hope.
<br /><br />The total project cost, including the purchase of the land and construction of the home, is KES 6,500,000 (approximately USD 50,000).
<br /><br />If you would like to be part of this life-changing journey, we warmly invite you to support Mama Chogo’s family. Every contribution, big or small, brings them one step closer to leaving their mud house behind and into a home they can proudly call their own.
<br /><br />Together, we’re not just building a house—we’re restoring hope, transforming lives, and creating a brighter future for generations to come.
<br /><br />Thank you for believing in African Village Life and in the power of Hope Beyond the Village. ❤️
<br /><br />With love and gratitude,
<br /><br />African Village Life

From a Mud House to a Spacious 3Bedroom Dream Home

I didn’t plan to share this, but I can’t stop thinking about him. I was sitting at John Wayne Airport, just waiting like everyone else, when I noticed a man outside on the tarmac. At first, nothing seemed unusual—just another worker doing his job. But then I really watched. He could barely walk. Every step looked painful. He moved slowly, carefully, like his body was working against him. And yet, he kept going. Lifting equipment. Moving the airplane stairs. Fueling planes. Doing physically demanding work that most people half his age would struggle with. And he didn’t stop. There was no complaint, no hesitation—just quiet determination. It broke me. Because this is someone who should be enjoying rest, comfort, and dignity after a lifetime of hard work… not pushing his body to the limit just to get through another shift. I don’t know his full story yet. I don’t know why he’s still working. But I do know this: no one at that stage of life should have to. So I’m starting this fundraiser with one simple hope—to give him a chance to rest. To ease whatever burden is keeping him out there. To show him that people see him, and that his hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. If this video reached you, I believe it’s for a reason. Let’s come together and do something meaningful for someone who has clearly given so much of himself. Even the smallest donation matters. And if you can’t give, sharing this could change everything. Let’s help him finally take a break—he’s earned it.

Help Him Retire with Dignity

<div>Hi, I’m Josh, and I’m trying to save my wife’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My wife, Florence, has a rare liver disease called PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis). Last year she was also diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma - a rare and aggressive form of liver cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past year our lives have changed completely. Flo has endured long hospital stays, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and multiple invasive procedures, all whilst showing incredible strength at every stage of this devastating journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A liver transplant is now Flo’s only potentially curative treatment option.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But because of current NHS transplant criteria, she is not eligible for a transplant in the UK.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we are now having to seek treatment abroad in the hope of saving her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The good news is that I may be a suitable living donor for Flo. We will soon be travelling to Istanbul for urgent compatibility testing to see whether I can donate part of my liver to Flo in a living donor transplant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the reality is - we now have to fund this ourselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The costs include:
</div>
<div>• Transplant surgery
</div>
<div>• Donor surgery
</div>
<div>• Hospital care
</div>
<div>• Travel abroad
</div>
<div>• Accommodation
</div>
<div>• Post-operative treatment and recovery
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without a transplant, the only option left here in the UK will be palliative treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a transplant, she could gain everything. More life, more adventures and more time with those who love her. A future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before her diagnosis, you'd usually find Flo playing netball, climbing mountains, wild swimming or enjoying a cup of tea at home with her family and our dog, Spencer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even now, Flo is still the first person to show up for her friends, often protecting them from the reality of what she's going through herself. She has turned every chemo session into a 'Treatment Party' complete with themes and party hats for each infusion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flo works as a fundraising manager and has dedicated her career to helping others and raising money for important causes. I pray the kindness she’s put out into the world is returned to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, thank you. And if you can’t, sharing our story means just as much. Every share gives us a better chance of reaching more people who might help save Flo’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who know our Flo, we have no doubt she’ll get through this with positivity and party hats.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading our story, for your kindness, and for standing beside us during the hardest time our family has ever faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will continue to share updates here and you can also follow Flo's journey on Instagram @florencemoffatcharles
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you,
</div>
<div>Josh, Flo &amp; our families xxx
</div>

Help Florence get a Lifesaving Liver Transplant

<div>At just seven years old, Essie needs a new heart. In these seven years, she has shown more courage and strength than you could imagine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our vibrant, full-of-life little niece was diagnosed with a severe heart condition and is about to undergo a heart transplantation to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While her mum, dad and medical professionals fight for this little girl's life. They will need financial support to keep things going. The cost of living does not stop and they need to be by Essie's side while she fights for survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of our little warrior, we are humbly asking for whatever support you can give big or small, to assist in their battle to save Essie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Further to the above I want to highlight that all off the funds raised will be going to Michael Loftus and Anne-Marie Walsh Loftus to use for any medical and living costs that are accrued in the fight to save their daughters life Essie Loftus.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those of you who don't know me I am Anne-Maries older brother Sean Walsh.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a trusted family member, I will manage the funds and directly transfer them to a bank account nominated by Anne-marie and Michael.
</div>

Little Heart Warrior

<div>Hi,
</div>
<div>A heartfelt Thank you for reading our story
</div>
<div>We are a family from Surrey.
</div>
<div>About Gurmoh
</div>
<div>Gurmoh is a joyful 3-year-old who attends preschool, loves making friends, and connects easily with both children and adults. His favorite song is Wheels on the Bus, and he happily dances to Baby Shark. He dreams of becoming a firefighter and spends his days driving his toy fire truck around the house, proudly wearing his hat.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Medical Condition
</div>
<div>Gurmoh has a gait abnormality and struggles with balance on uneven surfaces. He has been diagnosed with a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease—Spastic Paraplegia (SPAST c.1496 G&gt;A), caused by a de novo mutation (neither parent carries it).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This condition progressively damages the nerves responsible for movement and cognition. It leads to painful muscle stiffness and, over time, paralysis of the legs and trunk.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>What This Means for His Future
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without timely gene therapy, Gurmoh is expected to lose his ability to walk, eat, speak, and eventually his independence. He may also experience severe pain and cognitive decline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, he remains independent, with challenges mainly on stairs and uneven ground.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Why There Is No Treatment Yet
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is currently no approved therapy. Due to the rarity of his condition and lack of funding for rare disease treatment from government and pharmaceutical companies 
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>A Real Path Forward
</div>
<div>Gene therapy has already been successfully developed for similar conditions, such as SPG50, demonstrating that treatment is possible. Innovative rare disease medicine is life changing for these children from from rare diseases 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>McGill University has committed in writing to develop a gene therapy for Gurmoh, led by Dr. Ziv Gan-Or, Director of Clinical Research at The Neuro. This gives him a critical window of hope before further progression. This gene therapy could be used for other kids with same condition and will open the door for many more.
</div>
<div>Each and every dollar will go into developing this gene therapy.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Financial Challenge and why we need help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The estimated cost to develop and deliver this therapy is $6–8 million, covering research, pre-clinical, and clinical phases. Early stages depend heavily on patient and philanthropic funding, while later stages may receive government support.
</div>
<div>We cannot do this alone. We are giving everything we can to this but it’s not possible without your support. Each and every dollar and share makes a huge difference for us
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gurmoh’s ongoing care costs us approximately $6,000–$8,000 per month, including therapies, specialized equipment, and frequent travel for intensive treatment. After this one time gene therapy treatment he will be cured of this disease and could lead a normal life.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Time is critical
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gurmoh needs $2.7 million to initiate and accelerate the development of his gene therapy. The science, expertise, and infrastructure are already in place at McGill—funding will determine how quickly treatment can reach him. Every second his nerves are dying because of this disease and they cannot be recovered back. He needs the treatment as soon as possible. If the funding doesn’t come in time it will not be possible to save him from this disease
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Message from our family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like any child, Gurmoh deserves a happy, pain-free, and independent life. He is not asking for anything extraordinary—just the chance to live like every other child.
</div>
<div>With your help, his story doesn’t have to be one of loss— it can be one of hope, strength, and a brighter future.
</div>
<div>From our family to yours, thank you for listening—and for standing with Gurmoh
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Time is critical. Every moment matters.

A Race Against Time to save our 3-year-old son Gurmoh

<div>Anfang März hat sich das Leben unserer lieben Freunde Lisa, Erik, Emil (5) und Theo (3) aus Harrislee von einem Tag auf den anderen komplett verändert.
</div>
<div>Bei Theo wurde am 11. März Leukämie diagnostiziert.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Seitdem kämpft der 3-Jährige rund um die Uhr – mit seiner Löwen-Mama an der Seite – im Kinderkrebszentrum des UKSH in Kiel. Aktuell durchläuft er eine intensive Chemotherapie sowie notwendige Operationen. Theo ist seit der Diagnose bettlägerig, hat starke Schmerzen, und die Nebenwirkungen der Chemotherapie sowie die vielen Medikamente machen es der Familie momentan unmöglich, auch nur ansatzweise ein normales Leben zu führen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nach der aktuellen stationären Behandlung wird Theo voraussichtlich mindestens ein Dreivierteljahr regelmäßig zur Chemotherapie ins UKSH müssen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Papa Erik sowie Mama Lisa sind derzeit krankgeschrieben. Für die gesamte Familie bedeutet diese Zeit eine enorme psychische, organisatorische und finanzielle Belastung.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Als Freunde möchten wir helfen, der Familie in dieser schweren Zeit wenigstens finanziell den Rücken freizuhalten, damit sie sich ganz auf Theo und seine Heilung konzentrieren können.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Eure Spenden sollen die Familie in den kommenden Monaten entlasten – unter anderem bei:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Verdienstausfall während der langen Behandlungszeit (bei Lisa auf unbestimmte Zeit)
</li>
<li>Transportkosten zwischen Harrislee und Kiel
</li>
<li>Zusätzlichen medizinischen und organisatorischen Kosten
</li>
<li>Anpassungen im Alltag und Zuhause
</li>
</ul>
<div>Jede Spende – egal in welcher Höhe – hilft und auch das Teilen dieser Kampagne würde uns bereits sehr viel bedeuten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vielen Dank von Herzen für eure Hilfe und Unterstützung ♥️
</div>

GEMEINSAM FÜR THEO (3)

<div><strong>Help Us Create a Better Life for Rí</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s hard to put into words what our son Rí has endured over the past 15 months and the impact it has had on our family. We are parents to three wonderful boys: Cohen, Lou, and Rí. Unfortunately, Rí was born with a rare genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1. Without treatment children with SMA1 rarely survive beyond their second birthday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankfully, we were fortunate enough to secure Zolgensma, a lifesaving treatment that has given Rí the chance to fight. However, his journey has been incredibly complex, and he faces significant medical challenges every day. We have come heartbreakingly close to losing Rí multiple times, but he continues to defy the odds and bring joy to our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/84697235_173377944567899_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Until recently, we lived in rural North Cork, where Rí's medical needs made life extremely challenging. Due to his condition, he cannot travel safely in a car, leaving us isolated. During emergencies, we relied heavily on-air ambulance services and endured agonising wait times for medical help. On two separate occasions, we had to perform CPR on Rí ourselves, waiting 40 minutes for paramedics to arrive, this was a terrifying and unimaginable experience for any parent to have to go through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result of these close calls and the strain on our family being split so often during his extended hospital stays, we made the incredibly difficult decision to sell our home and relocate to Dublin. Being close to Temple Street Children’s Hospital, the new children’s hospital, and the many critical services Ri depends on is essential for him to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Buying a house in Dublin was an incredibly difficult and emotional journey that required immense sacrifices. To give Rí the best chance at life, we had to leave behind everything we held dear—our family, friends, and the community that had been our home. We uprooted our lives, leaving our careers and the schools that our other children loved. We sold possessions, cars, and ultimately our home, pouring every penny we had into making this move possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although we are relieved to now be in Dublin, where Rí is closer to the medical care he needs, the transition has been a profound challenge for our family. Despite all we’ve given up, our focus remains on improving Rí’s quality of life as much as possible, ensuring he can thrive surrounded by the love and presence of his family. Rí is very fragile, and most days, it’s difficult to even bring him downstairs. As a result, one of us must stay with him upstairs all day, separating him from the rest of the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Our goal is to transform our home into a space that fully supports Rí’s needs and allows him to be an active part of our family’s daily life. By building a fully accessible downstairs bedroom and adapting our home, we can ensure that Rí has the comfort and security he deserves. This would enable him to spend precious time with his brothers and us in a way that simply isn’t possible right now.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rí’s name means “king” in Irish, and it couldn’t be more fitting for him. He is the heart of our family, our little warrior who faces every challenge with strength and grace far beyond his years. Rí has shown us what true resilience looks like, and his ability to bring joy to everyone he meets is nothing short of extraordinary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It feels incredibly vulnerable to share our story and ask for help, but we know this is what we need to do for Rí. We are reaching out for your support to give him the best possible quality of life. Your kindness and generosity will help us create a home where Rí can thrive, a place where he can be safe, comfortable, happy and surrounded by the love of his family every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading our story and for considering helping Rí!
</div>
<div><br />
