Luna Rose Foundation (Southport)

Hi! My name is Luna Rose, age 10, and I’m really excited to share that I’m starting my own Fundraiser in the wake of the horrific event I was involved in. I was left with life-threatening injuries and airlifted to Manchester Children's Hospital, as I wouldn’t have made it to Alder Hey without the immediate blood transfusion that only the air ambulance could provide. I received multiple blood transfusions and immediate major life-saving surgery to repair internal damage, and sadly, I lost my spleen and will be on lifelong medication twice a day. After a lengthy stay in critical care, I’ve required further operations as well. The air ambulance that saved my life is charity-run, as is the Ronald McDonald accommodation that allowed my immediate family to stay close to me and my mum. This will be my first fundraiser. Another important part of my charity is to support in helping provide many other things that are charity-provided in critical care and recovery, such as hair kits, toothbrushes, fans, arts and crafts, blankets, and sanitary products. My goal with this charity is to help as many people as I can and bring our community together. I want to spread love and kindness everywhere and eliminate the fear, as I feel like this event has given me a purpose and determination to strive to help others. So far, we have raised and given £15,000 to the air ambulance. Check our Instagram page to see the people that saved my life. We have also given over £2,000 to our homeless shelter in and around Liverpool. Thank you to everyone that has donated, and we plan to keep doing these fundraisers and supporting our air ambulance and helping our community to have a little bit extra.
