Evie’s cancer journey and recovery

Aim: Evie is 15 years old and fighting stage 4 Hodgkinson lymphoma she is facing many challenges and health issues and has a long journey ahead.

Evie's cancer journey has been filled with gruelling treatments, including chemotherapy that led to neuropathy, a painful and debilitating condition that once made her fear she may never walk again. Despite enduring four blood transfusions, infections, emergency surgery, and countless scans, Evie has shown remarkable resilience and strength in the face of this cruel disease.

Throughout this traumatic time, Evie has missed out on so much that a teenager should cherish - education, time with friends, holidays - and has grappled with lost self-confidence and heightened anxiety. As she braces herself to begin her GCSEs this year, we are rallying support to provide her with the private tuition she needs to catch up on her studies and regain her confidence, especially after losing her beautiful long hair. Also hopefully fund for an A1 robot that would takes Evie’s place in school when she is not able to attend, allowing Evie to still attend school from with home or the hospital.

Additionally, Evie requires extensive physiotherapy to navigate the challenges of walking and fine motor skills due to neuropathy. To create a more comfortable and conducive environment for her recovery and daily life, Evie dreams of having her bedroom professionally designed with a desk, electric bed, and storage space where she can focus on her studies and indulge in her creative passions such as painting, Lego building, crocheting, and more. These activities not only benefit Evie's mental health but also aid in her physical rehabilitation.

Furthermore, to support Evie's physical well-being and mental health, she would greatly benefit from having exercise equipment at home and if funds allow also a hydrotherapy pool. Due to mobility issues and weight gain from steroids, as well as a decline in her mental well-being, Evie finds it challenging to engage in physical activities outside the home, such as going to the gym.
