We are raising money to support Reece and the Delmont family during the most devastating and unimaginable time of their lives. Right now, their only focus should be on being by Reece’s side and helping him fight through this — not worrying about bills, travel costs, or the financial pressure that comes with spending every day at the hospital.

At just 21 years old, Reece has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy — a rare genetic condition that has led to advanced heart failure, multiple organ falure and the urgent need for a heart transplant. His journey has been sudden, terrifying, and heartbreaking for everyone who loves him.

“Never did I think that I would ever have to write something like this.

My eldest son Reece has been unwell for around 3 weeks. I took him to the GP twice to be told he was suffering from GERD and anxiety. His symptoms were a high heart rate, breathlessness, exhaustion, a feeling of fullness and an inability to keep down his food. By the 3rd week I still wasn’t happy and made another appointment at the doctors. As we were about to leave I noticed how his ankles and feet were swollen like a 90 year old’s. Straight away I panicked and knew it had to be something to do with his heart.

I took him down to A&E and after lots of tests a CT scan revealed his heart was extremely enlarged. We then received the devastating news that my 21-year-old son was in advanced heart failure. His liver, kidneys and lungs were drowning in fluid due to his heart not working correctly. We were told he was critically ill and to prepare for the worst.

The floor fell out from under me and my world was blown apart.

Reece has a rare genetic condition called dilated cardiomyopathy. As it’s genetic, our whole family now faces testing too.

Please say a prayer for Reece and all the boys. Never ignore your intuition when it comes to your children.”

Every donation, no matter how small, will help ease the burden on the Delmont family so they can concentrate on what truly matters — supporting Reece through the fight of his life.

Thank you for your kindness, love, prayers, and support. It means more than words can say.
