Cobhan’s road to recovery

On Sunday morning our family woke up to a devastating phonecall to say that our Son, Grandson, Brother & Uncle was in a High Dependency Unit.
Cobhan joined the Army at the age of 16, turning 18 in January with a whole career ahead of him.
However on Saturday 21st March, Cobhan was held hostage in an unprovoked attack. Cobhan was barricaded in a flat and tortured for a long 3 hours. Cobhan experienced life changing trauma, he has severe burns, knife slashes to his face, stab wounds, broken bones. The trauma and pain that occurred that night is terrifying, Cobhan is currently in hospital and is needing specialist care for both his wounds and burns. 

The trauma experienced that night will change Cobhan’s life forever, a once funny, humorous boy, full of life is now scared to close his eyes and sleep at night. 

Our Son/Grandson/Brother has the kindest soul so we’re devastated to see the pain which he is in. Cobhan will now live with scars to last a lifetime, both mentally and physically. To help Cobhan, he is going to need counselling and lots of therapy. 

Although we are so lucky that Cobhan is still alive and here with us today, we’re also in great pain knowing the long road ahead of us. We’re aiming to raise money tohelp towards any therapy which Cobhan may need as there is a very high chance Cobhan may suffer with PTSD from this horrible event. 

Please help and share in any way you can. Our Family & Cobhan will forever be grateful x
