The Wilkes Family

I have created this gofund me page, to offer support to our good friends Dave and Shirley. Some of you may have already heard, their youngest son Jack has been diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma at the weekend.

Jack has lived in Llwyngwril his whole life, only recently leaving, to join the Royal Welsh. Following in his Father, Uncle and Grandfathers footsteps pursuing a career in the army. Everyone is so incredibly proud of him, it is a cruel and devastating blow to them all.

Jack is currently in intensive care in Southampton, on dialysis having already started an intense course of chemotherapy, the doctors have said he is fit, has youth on his side, however, they are going to hit it hard.

With Dave and Shirley both being self-employed and Jack still being classed as a young adult, he needs their support now more than ever. A few people have asked if they can help, if we can ease the financial burden without them having to ask, it would mean the world. Whatever you can afford, every little will help and they will be forever grateful.
