    Story

    On Saturday 28th April 2022, Stephen Tapper passed away after a lifetime of fighting a multitide of illnesses after he was born stillborn but resuscitated. He spent some time in Great Ormand Street hospital, to be told that he wouldn't survive the trip home. Following this, he had a third Kidney implanted, operations on his legs due to dead muscle, and spent most of his life on Dialysis. Stephen was well acquainted with hospitals, after having both kidney and liver transplants, parts of his foot removed due to his T1 Diabetes, and to repair his shoulders from another bnirth defect.

    After fighting his entire life and beating the odds, he finally surcummed to his injuries after suffering a heart attack, heart failure and pnemonia before getting end-stage kidney and liver failure again, leading to a final and fatal Myocardial Infraction (bloodflow stopping to the heart).

    Unfortunately, we cannot give Stephen the send-off he deserves due to family circumstances. We hoped he had insurance policies in place, but we found out he didn't when it was too late. We decided to start a fundraising group hoping that some generous people would be willing to donate to his funeral. We shall be ensuring all money raised from within the family goes on here.

    Stephens Life

    Although Stephen had a life full of medical limitations, he lived a happy life and loved being around his family. He resided in Ernesettle, Plymouth with his mum and dad for most of his life, until they both passed away recently.

    How Funds Will Be Used

    All funds raised will be spent on Stephens's funeral, providing a basic send-off. Any additional funds above the target will give him a better funeral. A breakdown of this will be given closer to the time.

        Sorry its such a small donation. I just read your chair advert and it was brilliant. I don't need the chair but I can donate. Good luck with raising the funds for the funeral.
