Razor for Riley
In June 2024, Riley was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) after a rapid onset of symptoms. Within days, he was transferred from Busselton Hospital to Bunbury Hospital for further testing, and then to Perth Children's Hospital where his treatment began immediately. During this turbulent time, the family had to leave their daughter, Sadie, with Paul's parents while they secured accommodation in Perth through the Leukemia Foundation.
The diagnosis has upended their lives, forcing them to leave their newly built home in Dunsborough, as well as their beloved dog, Koby. Riley and Sadie, who had just started daycare and Pre-Kindy, are now unenrolled. Paul and Lee have also had to put their efforts to build Paul's small business on hold. The family is now focused on supporting Riley through his treatment, demonstrating remarkable resilience and strength in the face of this challenging journey.
In addition to the emotional toll, the family faces significant financial challenges over the next 12-18 months. With Paul's business on hold and the costs associated with ongoing medical care, travel, and living expenses in Perth, the financial burden is immense. The community's support is crucial in helping them navigate this difficult period, ensuring they can focus on Riley's recovery without the added stress of financial strain.
