Thankfully we were able to offer our emergency lifeline for Roman and his family last Christmas. Despite being given months to live in March 2019, Roman spent his first and last Christmas at home with his family after multiple visits to Helen & Douglas House, each one feeling like it could be the last.
It felt like a miracle as we got everything we wanted for Christmas. Roman and Harley celebrated together and opened presents. Roman even sat in his highchair for Christmas Dinner, the only time he ever did as he was too weak to hold himself up. Mum, Ellie.
Sadly in January 2020, just a few weeks after Christmas Roman died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Amazing supporters like you last year meant we could be the lifeline of care and support for Roman and his family during his short life, but also after he died.
