My wife and I are recently married in April this year we have a combined family with 7 children which 4 have special needs.Our children are 14yr, 10yr, 8yr, 7yr, 5yr, 3yr and 6months old.

Our 14yr old has Autism and Intellectual disability, 10 yr old has ODD (Oppostional defiant disorder), 8 yr old has Autism, 7 yr old had ADHD and ODD.

This will be our first ever holiday away as a family and need help with the costs. We have been given tickets to Kelly tarltons and layby tickets that are now paid off to rainbows end. We just need help with transport cost, accommodation, etc

We were planning the holiday for 16 Jan 2018 we have now had to put it off till April 2018 as my wife Julie had a nasty fall from the van and dislocated her elbow, shattered her Radial head and broke her ulner bone, she underwent surgery on 9 Jan 2018 to replace radial head, pin her ulner and reattach tendon so she unable to travel right now
