"Life was good" for a healthy 21-year-old student Emma before she was left isolated and struck down with "out of the blue" illness.
Emma Tuck has lost the "best three years of her life" at Leeds Beckett University; while her friends were meeting up for lectures or going out to social events, Emma was left bed bound. In 2019, when she'd started university at age 18, the criminology student began to feel unwell and had kidney stones. This developed into a kidney infection and inflammation.
Emma, who is from Doncaster, has not been able to eat a full meal in more than three years, and is often left shaking and vomiting and feeling dizzy and incoherent. After three years of suffering, she needs a life-changing treatment costing over £40,000.
