Meet Lilly...

29/8/2018

Lilly is only three years old and has been diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma - a cancer of the white blood cells.

Lilly's mum had just got a new job when she received the dreadful news, and had to quit before she even started so that she could look after Lilly. This put a financial strain on the whole family and, although they are entitled to some benefits, it can take a long time for those to be processed. As a result, Lilly's family haven't been able to pay their rent so they are in arrears and their local council are pushing for payment causing stress at an already emotional time.

Lilly's hospital appointments are a long way away so it is very costly getting to and from them so often. In addition, she has lost so much weight as a result of her treatment that all her clothes are far too big for her.

Mum desperately wants to pay off their rent arrears to ease the stress, as well as buy Lilly some clothes to fit her properly, and a much-needed rain cover for Lilly's new mobility buggy.

​"Our world has been turned upside down and I just want to be able to provide for my girl again"

Lilly's mum's family feel awful as they can't afford to help which is putting strain on their relationship too. Lilly and her mum asked for our help, and we have been able to send them a payment to help relieve the stress and worry.

Thank you to anyone who has raised money this month and helped us to help them!
