Story
Lacey Mae is a bright, bubbly and adorable 4yr old. On 18th July she had emergency life-saving surgery to drain fluid from her brain. She was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour. Several major operations later, to remove the tumour, have shunts and drains fitted she is on the long road to recovery.
The tumour severely damaged her optic nerves leaving her very little sight and she had a minor stroke leaving her left side temporarily paralysed.
Last week she embarked on intensive physio. Once she regains enough strength, dreaded chemotherapy.
Throughout the trauma, Lacey Mae has remained bright, bubbly and adorable.
Her parents Rob and Donna, as parents do, have dealt with the emotional trauma remarkably well, but, have been unable to work while Lacey has been in hospital. She’s expected to be in for another 3 to 6 weeks so, little is likely to change.
The generosity of friends and family only goes so far and unfortunately, doesn’t pay the bills. After all the financial help they are entitled to, they don’t have enough to cover basic living costs.
Lacey Mae is still bright, bubbly and adorable, but, she’s worried.
Mummy and Daddy don't have enough for the rent. She knows why Mum’s go to Iceland (to get sweets) but she’s worried Mummy might not have enough money to go to Iceland. She knows why Daddy goes to the Petrol Station (to get sweets) but she’s worried Daddy’s car might break, then he will have to walk to the hospital (to bring me sweets) cos I don’t like all the sweets the Doctors give me!
I fibbed, It’s not really Lacey Mae who’s worried.
So, will you help them please?
£50 will pay their rent shortfall for a week
£25 will put fuel for a week in the car
£10 will help buy a hot dinner once a week in the hospital
£5 will buy them a coffee once or twice a week
£1 …that will buy me sweets ;-)
Help Lacey Mae remain bright, bubbly and adorable.
Please help her parents.
Thank you everyone, one simple share means so much x

8 years agoSometimes, a simple "Thank You" is more than enough and at other times, those same words can feel so inadequate. Because of you, Lacey Mae is still bright, bubbly and adorable. She knows next week Mummy can go to Iceland, and the week after and the week after that. She knows Daddy can put lots of petrol in the car. So whether you gave hundreds or pennies, whether you walked yards or cycled miles, whether you drank coffee and ate cake, donated gifts or shared a page, every little helped. And to you, Lacey Mae says.. Thank You x
