On the 1st of August Jacob passed away. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is a terminal muscle-wasting disease.
Jacob was 21, and he lived with his Mum Claire, Dad Darren, and doting big sister Lauren. He has an older brother, Jordon.
“I’m struggling so much at the moment to find words, as I said before Jacob has always been my best friend in the whole world – he was my whole world – and he was such a beautiful soul.”

This is our little buddy Leo! He lives in Leicester with his Mum, Dad, and older brother Jude. Leo is 3-years-old, and loves numbers and animals – especially elephants!
Leo has autism and is particularly sensitive to new places and people.
We need your help to find Leo some new trainers. They are Clarks grey and green Gloform Reflect Pop boys trainers. They have a velcro fastening and an alien on the side. Leo’s are ripped and have holes in but he still wears them. The soles are wearing down badly too. He will soon outgrow them too. Ideally, we would need a 10.5G, 11.g, and a 12g.
Can YOU help Leo find some new very special trainers?

This is our little friend Kitty – say Hi! Kitty lives with her Mummy, Daddy, sister’s Delilah and Tabby, and her big brother, Amos. They all live in Canterbury in Kent. Kitty absolutely loves music and drawing.
Kitty has Autism, as does her identical twin sister. She finds so much comfort in Sheepy, who is her favourite thing, a Flat Sheep Comforter. This was made several years ago by a small craft company, possibly an individual. This is going to be hard to find but someone out there must have one – please help spread the search far and wide.
The way this works is not magic, it’s all about SHARING. If you want to help Evie find some Red Next Coats we need you to like and share this search with all your family and friends, but importantly, we need you to tell them to do the same.
Chances are none of our amazing Followers has one of these in a cupboard, but if you all share it, and those people share it too, and so on, someone down the line may well have one, and if they see the picture pop up in their feed they may well be able to help Evie.
Liking and commenting is good too!
