I’ve been diagnosed with leukaemia and will be in hospital for two months of chemotherapy, I'm self-employed and still have bills to pay.
Hi lovely people.
I'm Beth, I'm 30 and in March 2026 I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and will be in hospital for at least two months of intensive chemotherapy cycles. Followed by a month in hospital isolation for a stem cell transplant.
Because I’m a self‑employed website designer, this means my income has pretty much stopped overnight.
I’m fundraising simply to keep my life stable while I’m away from work: rent, bills, and basic living costs. My essentials come to about £1,900 a month, and covering even a small part of that would take a huge weight off my shoulders.
If you’re able to donate (even the smallest amount), share, or send some encouragement, I’m deeply grateful. It means I can focus on getting well without the added stress of falling behind on bills.
Thank you for being here! I am hugely grateful for anything you can spare.

As well as chemotherapy, I will need a stem cell transplant to prevent the cancer from returning. My sister is being tested as siblings are the best chance of a match. However, my doctor told me that it can be harder for mixed race people to find a match.
So my call out is this: please consider becoming a stem cell donor. Especially if you are a person of colour, or you have mixed race heritage.
It’s a non-surgical process where blood is taken from one arm, passed through a machine to harvest stem cells, and returned to the other arm. It saves lives, and I will need this treatment to save mine.
Thank you so much for reading, I am endlessly grateful for the supportive words and kindness from people xxxx
