For Our Beautiful Rosie Bud 💗

Helping Rose Make Precious Memories While Fighting a Brain Tumour

Our beautiful little girl Rose, affectionately known as Rosie Bud, is just 8 years old. She’s a happy, loving, creative little girl with the biggest heart, a wonderful imagination and a smile that can light up any room.

Like any little girl her age, Rose loves colouring, drawing, cuddling her worry monsters, playing with her toys and dreaming about Christmas. She loves the moon, the stars and everything magical about the world around her.

But recently, our family’s world was turned upside down.

What started as a routine eye appointment led to the discovery of something no parent could ever prepare themselves to hear.

Following scans, hospital appointments and surgery, our beautiful Rosie Bud was diagnosed with a diffuse paediatric-type high-grade glioma, a devastating form of brain tumour.

Hearing those words about our precious little girl has been heartbreaking beyond anything we could ever describe.

Rose has already been through so much, including brain surgery and having a shunt fitted. In the coming weeks, she will begin six weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, meaning time away from home, hospital visits and treatment continuing throughout the Christmas period.

And through everything, she continues to amaze us.

She still wants to draw pictures, colour her worry monsters, look at the stars through a telescope and talk excitedly about what Father Christmas might bring.

She’s still our Rosie Bud. Our beautiful little girl who deserves all the happiness, laughter, love and magic that childhood should bring.

As a family, we are doing everything we possibly can to support Rose through her treatment, make her comfortable and surround her with love.

We have created this page to help with the additional costs that come with her treatment, including travelling, accommodation, time away from work and, most importantly, giving Rose and our family the opportunity to make as many beautiful memories together as possible.

Whether that’s a special day out, a little adventure, a Christmas surprise or simply being together without the added worry of financial pressures, every contribution will make a difference.

We know times are difficult for everyone, and we would never expect anyone to give more than they can afford. Even sharing Rose’s story, sending a kind message or keeping her in your thoughts means the world to us.

No parent ever imagines having to write something like this about their child. All we want is to give our little girl the most wonderful life we possibly can, filled with love, happiness and precious moments.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving, supporting and thinking of our beautiful Rosie Bud.

With all our love,

Rose’s Family 💗

For every smile, every adventure and every precious memory. For Rosie Bud. 🌈💕
