Story
Alexa is 8 and suffers refractory epilepsy which means that she doesn't respond to medication. Alexa suffered over 960 grand mal seizures last year requiring oxygen and spent 7 months of the year in a hospital bed.
With every seizure Alexa risks further damage and potentially life threatening ‘status’ which means seizure does not stop. Alexa is at a high risk of sudden death in epilepsy because rescue meds simply don't work well.
We travelled abroad and a neurologist privately prescribed Cannabis oil in Netherlands and it has helped Alexa safe and away from hospital. Each 10 ml bottle of celixir20 medicine costs over £135 and this is expensive for a full time carer. We cannot access this medicine on the NHS and this means that we are wholly reliant on the private health system and the generosity of the public to help us.
This is Alexa's last hope and chance at a quality life. Any contribution you make be it big or small can help change my little girls life forevever!
Alexa has been using the oils now with success for 1.5 years, and she is now starting to heal and get stronger and be more aware. We really want to be able to continue with the oils as its been the best thing compared to any epilepsy meds which had awful side effects. Alexa is happier, more alert, less anxious, and less floppy and is taking am interest in her surroundings and the world.
Alexa deserves a chance to achieve more from life and be the best she possibly can be. Cannabis oil can help Alexa achieve her goals and dreams.
Please help if you can. It can make all the difference! Big hug from Alexa. X

Mum to my little girl Alexa who has rett syndrome and severe refractory epilepsy. Alexa is slowly healing on medicinal cannabis oil after spending 7 months in hospital bed a year ago. The oil has given her her life back. Without it she will seriously deteriorate again.
