We are raising funds for a local family who received some life shattering news at the end of November when their 3 year old was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. Gabriel is 3 and he is the most enthusiast farm kid you’ll ever meet, sorting sheep with his puppy and always outside on the farm or in the fields. He had been unwell for a few weeks and had been to the GP a few times, as his condition worsened they took him to A and E to be told a few hours later his cancer diagnosis. He was then admitted to the Paediatric Oncology ward and started his treatment within hours. In a moment their lives changed forever. He will receive treatment for more than 2 years. The family have 4 young children, their ages are 9,6,3 (Gabriel) and 1. They are tenant farmers running an organic farm, they are a husband and wife team on the farm although Gabriel’s diagnosis has meant that mum has to become Gabriel’s full time carer and no longer can work on the farm. It has also meant that Gabriel, the biggest farm enthusiast you’ll ever meet can no longer do the things he loved on the farm due to the risk of infection (spores and bacteria) while he is receiving life saving treatment. Gabriel now spends most of his time in hospital as well as receiving treatment from home from community nurses, a very different life he is used to. Dad, Oliver continues to run the farm as well as looking after the other children when mum is in hospital with Gabriel. We fundraising to pay for additional help on the farm in mums absent while she am Gabriel’s carer. His treatment will continue for more than 2 years and during this time he will be immunosuppressant, so will not be able to go on the farm as he used to and mum will not be able to work on the farm as she used to. For them to keep their home for the children and pay bills to continue running their small business which includes paying rent as tenant farmers and everything else, They need to find additional help on the farm. It is utterly heart breaking for him as well as their young family and cancer really does rip lives apart although they are staying strong and fighting this together as a family! Thanks for reading and for all your help.
