Kiarah's Cystic Fibrosis Vest Fund
Donation protected
My name is Nathan Sharp.
I am a lone father to two beautiful children, Kyereece 5 and Kiarah 7.
The day Kiarah was born, life changed completely. As a ex armed forces veteran, I thought I was prepared for anything life had in store. I was not however, prepared for Kiarah to be diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a lung condition whereby the lungs are unable to clear themselves of a thick and sticky mucas.
Life has been challenging, but beautiful for us. Each day I witness a little girl, embracing challenges, her spirit is fierce and strong and she lets nothing hold her back.
Kiarah takes up to 32 tablets per day and not once has she moaned. Her beautiful attitude for life is admirable.
Kiarah sings and dances to Jessie J, enjoys crafting activities and loves to read. She is a genuine caring loving little soul, who has a huge zest for life.
In the past three months, I have however witnessed Kiarah's Cystic Fibrosis start to impale on her daily life. Her cough haunts me, its persistant and harsh, yet once again, Kiarah never moans. We're rapidly crossing off antibiotics that are ineffective to Kiarah's condition. Each time an antibiotic stops being effective, I feel the clock tick.
We are all too aware that the day will come that Kiarah will need a heart and lung transplant. Its not IF, it is WHEN!
We are also aware that the days are approaching rapidly, whereby Kiarah will need a physio compression vest to help keep her comfortable and give her the best chance of an active life a child should lead.
This is where I'm asking for help.
I am a proud and hard working man, but like most families, I dont have between £7,000 and £13,000 for a specialist physio vest. One of my future concerns as a lone parent to Kiarah, is as Kiarah begins to mature, chest physio will become awkward and embarassing for her, as without a vest, I will have no other option than to carry to the patting of the chest and lung area.
I'd like to raise enough money to purchase as many vests as I can, not only helping Kiarah, but helping other CF families by loaning out the vests to help with their day to day condition management.
Children grow out of the vests very quickly, one size does not fit all.
I'd like to set up a physio vest bank. I really want to help others walking in the same shoes as myself.
We shouldn't have to worry about the finacial side of things, just to keep our children with Cystic Fibrosis comfortable.
The emotional support Kiarah and I have already recieved is overwhelming.
I'm hoping that with your help, we can make a difference. Together, we can make this happen.
