At the end of January Esme was diagnosed with leukemia. Due to this diagnosis, she has spent two weeks, including her third birthday on the cancer ward at Bristol's Children's hospital receiving chemotherapy.

She is now home, but faces trips to hospital twice a week to receive ongoing treatment. This could last for many many months. Due to the side effects of Esme's chemo, she is very weak and needs looking after constantly, therefore both parents have taken time off work to do so. This has meant funds and income are very restricted.

Any donations received would go towards the costs of traveling 65+ miles a week to and from hospital and into ensuring that the house and garden are safe for Esme and her little brother to play in once she is feeling better.
