Story
This family of four are fighting for specialist NHS treatment for their 9 year old. It requires at least six trips to london which costs £210 just in train fare alone. Not including dads time off work.
It is the only option available to us on the nhs and if we cant raise the money to get there we will be taken off the waiting list.
Both mum and dad have worked since early teens but in low income jobs. After a 14 year career dad was made redundant in December, which was a shock and it took a few months to find a new job.
Mum has been off work due to severe bowel disease since febuary and money is obviously really tight. The worry of not being able to attend these appointments and help her baby is adding to her stress which is not helping her illness. She may well need an operation soon to remove some of her bowel so it is all incredibly bad timing and they could really do with some help. Please share and give what you can to help this 9 year old get the specialist treatment she needs. Thank you.

Couldn't help but be moved by your story - thanks so much for fighting to help your child work out who they are. I can't emphasise enough how valuable parental support would have been for me.

your child sounds just like me when I was young, but with the benefit of a parent who wants to help, rather than tell them they're wrong. I wish all of you the very best!
