We are asking for help to support us during a very tough time.

We have five children, two have special needs. Currently our eldest son D is an inpatient as he has become to unwell to manage. We do not know what will happen next for D but we have proabably a couple of months now of needing to travel several times a week to visit and attend appointments. Dad is self employed so he can work around the family demands but currently that means he's barely working at all.
D's Bennifits have all been stopped as he's just turnt 16 and there are issues around that and me becoming his appointee, which takes time. In the mean time we are really struggling to make ends meet.

I would really like to be able to afford to get to D often enough and take him some treats. He has been there over two weeks already and the little things we bring to him make a difference, books, drinks and of course chocolate!

There's alot going on in life besides D, we are also being evicted there's of course birthdays, Christmas and normal weekly living to be managed and now on less income than ever.

We don't need to ask for help very often but sometimes it's needed. Friends have told me they want to help so I guess I am going to have to brave it and ask.
