Stand With Archie

Our son Archie is an extraordinary little boy. Born six weeks early with a very rare genetic condition, every day is a challenge. Archie can’t feed like most babies, he struggles with growth, reflux, Illness and motor movement. His tiny body requires round-the-clock care. Despite this rough start he is the sweetest natured little boy and does his best every day.

His genetic condition is so rare, he is likely the only one with it worldwide. He has an unbalanced translocation, resulting in a deletion on 12p and a duplication on 6q. He will have movement, feeding and other challenges for most of his life. The lack of case studies and literature means mum, dad and his big sister face the most uncertain of futures.

We want Archie to thrive, to reach milestones that most children take for granted, and to experience the joy, laughter, and adventure of childhood. To do that, we need help.

Your support will directly help with:

• Specialised feeding supplies and equipment

• Travel and accommodation for hospital appointments

• Therapies to support his development

• Day-to-day care that allows us to keep him safe, healthy, happy and developing.

Even a small donation makes a real difference. If you can’t contribute, sharing Archie’s story with others helps more than you know.

Thank you for helping us give Archie the best possible start in life.
