Joseph Barnard And family

We recently had the devastating news that Joseph, IT specialist and teacher has a brain tumour. He is a new Dad to little Tao who is just 1 years old, and a step Dad to 3 other children. Joseph, his partner Thea, a Stroud based teacher, and his family have been devastated at the news.

Joseph recently had a problem with the use of his leg, and went into hospital in Oxford thinking at worst, he had a herniated disc- an MRI shockingly showed what looked like a brain tumour. Following further MRIs- the family now await to hear the full diagnoses and treatment plans. Friends and family are gathering to help where they can at this intensely distressing time.

Joseph and Thea are both self employed, and now have both lost their income streams. With debts piling up, regular trips to Oxford hospital, and the need to explore complimentary therapies to support Joseph whilst awaiting and receiving allopathic treatment; we desperately need to fundraise to cover costs. Initially we are fundraising for living costs, from loss of income, hospital visit costs and for buying complimentary treatment therapies.

Please give as little or as much as you can to help support this amazing, beautiful family on this journey.
