Firstly, thank you everyone who helped Steve in the first wave of funding. For those of you who don't know Ava, or didnt see the first fundraise, a link is attached

This sadly marked the return of leukaemia after 2 years remission. I wanted to set up a second JustGiving page as I adore Steve and Ava. I am her naughty Auntie Sarah Notman.
Sadly, things haven’t gone as planned. Medical problems have caused Ava to go through more painful treatments. The doctors were hoping to continue using chemo, but sadly Ava is now going down the riskier route of a bone marrow transplant, for which her brother Harvey will be the donor.
I recently visited Ava in hospital, she was recovering from yet another infection caused by strong Chemo, she was on a food & fluid drip and a morphine drip to relieve the agony of huge ulcers from her mouth to down into her stomach, an earlier op also damaged her voice box, so her speech has been affected, we pray that her beautiful singing voice recovers.
Steve is the predominant carer for Ava and because of the delays of 8 weeks, she's well behind with treatment. He was considering going back to work in November but Ava’s bone marrow transplant is now set for mid October, after which point she will be isolated for two months and only Steve, Ava’s mum and I can visit.
His current funds will not last and this adds extra pressure on top of his stress, so please can we all dig deep once more and donate to our beautiful friend Steve, so that he can continue to support his daughter.
I know he feels uncomfortable with the thought of reaching out again, but we all love and respect him and want Ava to fully recover. She blossoms by being in her dad’s company, as they have such a unique and beautiful relationship. If the transplant is a success, Ava may be able to go back to school in February 2017. Raising £7k will pay Steve’s rent until then, allowing him to focus 100% on Ava. Thank you
