The crowdfunding campaign is by Leann and Andrew Cruse as part of a DIY SOS mission to convert their home into a more suitable environment for their three-year-old son Cole.

Cole is severely disabled and suffers from brain abnormalities, a hip deformity, global development delay, epilepsy and asthma.

He is unable to walk and requires a wheelchair. He still can’t talk and is hospitalised regularly with life-threatening seizures, Due to the physical effects of the boy’s conditions the family needs extra space in the home for his needs.

The couple have five children and Cole’s older brother Lewis (14) also has autism and dyspraxia which affects his balance and co-ordination.
