Story
Hi Everyone
I am trying to raise money to help out Kenzy's family. Kenzy is a wee lad in Warddykes PS Arbroath that is awaiting a liver transplant and I am the Senior Clerical who thought she had retired from fundraising, but mum and dad told me the story about Kenzy who is awaiting a Liver transplant and I felt I needed to help out.
Kenzy was born 10/04/09 at 6 weeks 1 day Kenzy was flown by air ambulance from Ninewells to London @ 6 weeks 5 days he under went an operation to help prolong his livers life. This was called a Kassi and was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. Kenzy also has an enlarged spleen, squint knees, has had his gallbladder removed and also a Hernia from his Kassi, he also has Accites, Portal Hypertension and Pruritus. Kenzy is now on a live transplant waiting list so can go to London anytime. The problem is the family get transport down but mum and dad need to find accommodation when they get there and transport home and any other minor detail when they are down there this could happen more than once it just depends if the transplant is compatible, so every time they go down they need to find the accommodation etc, but we are praying the first time will be successful. Kenzy is on oxygen 24/7 even at school but he just gets on with life the best way he can he is a credit to his parents Nicky and Michelle. Nicky is a full-time chef as well as helping Michelle to look after the family and they both dote on them all. They are always up for a laugh when they come into school as they have to bring and pick up Kenzy 4 times a day and this is the reason I want to help them out. We are holding a raffle with brilliant prizes top prize is a btl of Chivas Regal 21 year old Royal Salute Whisky it comes in a Ruby coloured btl and bag which is inside a Chivas Regal box worth about £120 . If you wish raffle tickets you can buy them at £2 a strip incl name and phone number or if you just wish to give a donation anything will be most welcome for this lovely lad.

8 years agoKenzy and his family had a fab needed holiday in Blackpool, that is them back home and Kenzy back live awaiting that phone call for his transplant, Back to the grind for dad as well as all the worry. That's us all back to full throttle fundraising. The just giving page is sitting at £670 thank you all very much for your donations. Have been given another £200 from a trust, the money from Ailey & Sophie and Kyle Smith is running a mile a day for the next month he is in Kenzy's class and Ailey's brother, so well on course for £1000 + the raffle.x

8 years agoAs I was saying this is for their travelling expenses a wee holiday I mean a wee break e.g. Legoland or something where Kenzy can have much needed fun after what he has been through I didn't mean somewhere like Disney Florida LOL. Just wanted to clear this up. I have been fund raising for over 40 years and never once questioned about why, how. I put a lot of my own money into what I do and don't ask anything in return for myself just the charity am dedicated to at the time. Thanxs again to everyone from the bottom of my heart xxxxx

8 years agoThank you to everyone who has supported this cause so far. At the moment the family are having a fantastic holiday in Blackpool which they had booked over a year ago, Michelle has been updating fb for all their friends to see it's good they have managed this before the call to have some quality family time. Just to clear a little query up all this money is going towards travelling and expenses while Kenzy is in hospital this could turn out quite costly depending how many trips they have to do. A wee holiday after it's over would be great (TBC)
