This is Lennie,

Since Lennie was born with a heart condition called CCTGA (Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries) he has been in and out of hospitals enduring lengthy stays. He has had 2 open heart surgeries to date, one at 4 months old and another to correct his heart in May 2019 ( Double Switch). Unfortunately the left side of his heart hasn't coped that well since the switch and currently Lennie's only option is a heart transplant.

Lennie's family are currently in Birmingham Children’s Hospital since December awaiting news from Great Ormond Street and Freeman's in Newcastle as to what the future holds for them.

Laura and her husband Kelvin have three other children, Nathan, Hayley and Kincaid and whilst Laura stays at the hospital with Lennie as he cannot leave the hospitaldue to being dependent on IV medication that is keeping his heart beating. Kelvin and the other children have to travel 40 mins by train to visit when they can.

The recent COVID-19 situation has meant that Laura and Kelvin have had to take their other children out of school. Between work, hospital and now having the children at home this is an extremely hard situation with mounting costs.

I am asking that you donate whatever you are able no matter how big or small to help this incredibly courageous family. All money donated will go to the family.
