Story
A garden for a very special boy Harvey
Harvey is my nephew and this is he's story, I've set this page up hoping to raise enough money to get Harvey the garden he so needs.
Harvey is a 3 years old loving and caring boy and has gone through so much, From the moment he was born his had to be in and out of hospital.
In 2016 Harvey was found to have a form of meningitis in the blood steam witch got the hospital to start running more test it showed Harvey has condition called chromosome 3 witch to this day the doctors cannot say what that mean as they have not seen it before.
Other test showed he also has a condition called blackfan( anemia )it is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, characterized by a failure of the bone marrow (the center of the bone where blood cells are made) to produce red blood cells.
This failure causes DBA patients to become severely anaemic plus a low immune system which causes him to be neutropenia that opens him up to infections.
Harvey has also had two blood clots in his legs and in September 2017 was in intensive care as he got a blood clot in his brain in 2018 Harvey was then diagnosed with protein C witch is a clotting condition.
With these conditions especially the low immune system Harvey has not been able to have a normal child life.
Harvey also has other medical conditions such as B thalassaemia/ delayed development / coarctation of the aorta in the heart/ cleft plate/ dystrophic teeth as his condition causes brittle teeth so he's had to have quite a few of them removed )
In February 2018 after a year of fighting with the council Harvey finally got the home he needed for his health and mobility, But his garden he's not been able to use or access as it is all made out of concrete which is not good for his mobility or conditions.
Harvey does not understand dangers and cannot talk or walk unaided properly. He has a walking fame to help him with he's mobility.
Harvey is on loads of medications as well as blood thinning injections twice a day. Harvey also has to go every where by cab, As he's not allowed on public transport.
A fall on concrete is more serious for Harvey, Due to he's conditions.
So we would love to rasie £5000 for a garden as we have had loads of quotes and the lowest we have got is £5500.
Please help to make a very special boy happy with a garden he can use all the time that is safe for his medical conditions and disabilities.
Please donate to getting a garden for Harvey, Even the smallest amount will help. Even anything to do with a garden makeover would really help.
Follow Harvey on he's facebook page for more news.
