Emily's friends is crowdfunding
Iʼm raising £1,000 to support Emily and family following the devastating loss of Isabelle
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
It is truly heart breaking to share that Emily and her family have suffered another devastating loss with the passing of their 2-year-old daughter, Isabelle.
Isabelle had PPA2 deficiency, which can lead to sudden cardiac death in infants and young people. Emily also lost her 3 year old son Alexander to this in 2021. She has undertaken some amazing work around raising awareness of this condition and SUDC generally, using her skills and lived experience to help others.
Emily is such a loved and valued colleague and friend and we'd like to help her and her family now by offering a bit of support during this time. Anything you can donate would be much appreciated and will be used to pay for essentials such as meals, help with household necessities and Isabelle's funeral. The family also need to go through the process of replacing Alexander's headstone for one which includes Isabelle too. All of this is really incomprehensible, so any help will go a long way.
As a school and wider community we have pulled together before in times of need and hopefully you are able to donate something to ease the burden Emily and her family are now facing. Please also share this with others as we want to be able to offer as much support as possible.
Thank you.

2 months agoHi to all of you who have taken the time to read our story, share our page and / or kindly donate. Darren and I are truly touched by everyone's beautiful tributes to our daughter Isabelle and our son Alexander. We miss them so terribly but take comfort that their story may hopefully help someone else to not go through the same tragedy. We will use the generous funds wisely to honour their memory. Please help us raise awareness of ppa2 mutation and mitochondrial disease. We will only stop it with more research. Thank you so much 💙
