    Story

    A Property Valuation quickly turned into a Fundraising Scheme when we met Dana and Paul Bishop earlier this year. A truly inspiring couple, they are parents to two little boys, Morgan and Jenson and exude happiness and positivity despite the devastating issues they have to face daily.

    Morgan suffers terribly from Eczema, Asthma, severe food and environmental allergies and worst still, a life threatening kidney condition called FSGS Nephrotic Syndrome. He is so very poorly that he didn't get to celebrate his birthday properly this year. He can sometimes be in so much pain that he doesn't sleep a wink. His skin can be so raw that he looks burnt and his distress can be so upsetting that Dana and her husband Paul weep. Lengthy stays in hospital are common. He's in a lot of pain all the time.

    In amongst all of this is Jenson, his brother. He loves to run around and do what all two year olds do: wreak playful havoc. Jenson doesn't get to call the shots though, his routine is dictated by Morgan's health and as they only have a two bedroom flat, he has to sleep in a bed with his parents. Him sharing with Morgan is impossible due to the risk to Morgan's health from allergies and the disturbance they would cause to each other during the night.

    Because Dana is a full time carer to Morgan she cannot work. Paul finds himself only able to work a certain number of hours each week in order to be able to assist with everyday practicalities, appointments, rest for Dana and childcare. In short, even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to work enough hours to earn a big enough salary to qualify for a larger mortgage to buy the house the desperately need.

    They need our help.

    We are looking to help them move to a home with their own bedrooms and outside space to play come rain or shine. We want to help them stay near their friends, Morgan's school and their network of support. Please help us raise the shortfall they need to make this possible.

    Morgan suffers from a number of debilitating conditions, one of which is life threatening. As a result he cannot share a bedroom with his brother & his family are squeezed into a 2 bedroom flat with no garden. We aim to raise enough money for them to move to a house asap.
