Help for Iris after having a stroke at just 3 years old

Hi our names are Fran and Annie, sister’s of Gabie (mum) and Iris (niece).

We are fundraising for Iris who is a cheeky, loveable, funny 3 year old little girl who absolutely loves a fart joke, loves dancing and

lights up any room she walks into.

Iris had the life of a normal 3 year old girl who would go to nursery whilst her mummy went to work, go to the skate park with her scooter along with her brother Leo who she adores and would go to her cousins houses for play dates on the days she wasn’t at nursery but unfortunately on the 27th June 2024 Iris’s and her family’s life changed forever.

Unfortunately Iris suffered a stroke and it has damaged a third of the right side of her brain, this means she is left with no mobility down all of her left side and she is currently under care at the Bristol Children’s Hospital.

Iris is absolutely incredible and has already made so much progress with her speech, she has a very long road ahead of her which is including a hospital stay of around 3 months, with intensive therapy’s where they will try and regain as much movement as possible for Iris.

Our aim for trying to raise funds are to ensure Iris has access to the specialist equipment she needs to support her fully at home, to help ease the financial costs that comes along side her mum not being able to work, help with the transition from hospital to home and the rising costs of a hospital admission.

We would also like to try and allow Iris’s brother to be able to have quality time with their mum as their life’s has been turned upside down for the whole family.

The funds that are raised will help so much and we would appreciate anything even if it’s small to help this family at such a difficult time.
