Campaign Story
Our very dear friend Rick, age 42, died suddenly at home on Sunday 27th September 2015, leaving his beautifully unique, but poorly, three month old daughter Eva and soulmate partner Rachel. Rick was a devoted, genuine and loving father, partner, son, brother and friend to all.
Eva was born on June 23rd 2015 with debilitating CHARGE syndrome, and was in intensive care for her first 6 weeks at Whittington and Great Ormond Street hospitals before coming home. Loving Dad Rick, a trainee mental health nurse and dedicated charity worker, was a key carer, alongside Rachel, in Eva's specialised at-home medical care.
CHARGE syndrome affects hearing, sight, breathing, feeding, heart function, and general development needs. Eva requires specialised care for all of these areas. She will also be going through open heart surgery at Christmas, and we need to provide her with the best support to prepare her for this life saving operation.
Rachel is devastated by the loss of Rick and desperately needs your help to look after their precious little girl, whilst staying strong through her grief.
Your donations will help provide at-home nursing support, life-saving feeding and respiratory equipment, transportation to and from hospital, and any other necessary support that Rachel and Eva may need. Thank you.
