Deborah is the most optimistic and forward looking Mum I know and has handled her diagnosis, surgery and 54 weeks of treatment with an amazing heart. She is solo parenting and her two teenagers have held it together remarkably well due to their Mum’s love and care.

Prior to being diagnosed with cancer, her eldest daughter gained a place at one of the most highly regarded performing arts schools in the country. There was great excitement and Deborah was immensely proud of her daughter’s achievement. They accepted the place. Only her GCSE’s would prevent her from going. Or at least she thought…

Fast forward through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and midway through immunotherapy Deborah is pulling through a very bumpy road.

The reason I am fundraising is that she has been given 54 weeks of treatment and it’s tough for her to work consistently having been ill and having to stay in hospital too. She has a raft of hospital appointments. Looks after herself. Looks after her children. Keeps a roof over their heads and food on the table. Is rebuilding her strength. Rebuilding her career. Rebuilding her life in fact. And she is struggling to hold it all together. I know that the stress and pressure is the very last thing she needs right now.

I want to help her because she has fallen behind with her daughter’s college fees and accommodation. The college has told her that she can’t come back unless her fees are up to date in January. No help with a plan or anything, even though they know how severe the circumstances are. This could happen to any of us and it's tough to see.

Any donations will keep Deborah’s daughter in the place she worked hard to get to, is thriving at and loves passionately. It will be great to relieve the stress and pressure that this brilliant Mum of two is feeling too. Thank you. Chloe x
