A young Bristol mum has been overwhelmed by all the love and support from her community, as she spends her last precious moments with her family. Camilla Clark, from Bitton near Bristol, is preparing to say goodbye to her two-year-old son Joshua and husband, Ian.
The 32-year-old will have a final heartbreaking cuddle with her little one as she prepares to go into palliative care this week, having been diagnosed with leukaemia more than a year ago. Her sister Joanna Mulgrew, speaking on behalf Camilla, said that the journey from diagnosis to facing end of life care has been incredibly difficult with many harrowing moments.
She said it has only been made bearable by all the care and love from the communities of Bitton, Keynsham and the surrounding areas in Bristol. There have been two fundraising efforts on GoFundMe to help the Clark family cope with the financial pressures of Camilla’s illness, and a family fun day held last Friday. But a day prior to the event, Camilla was told the latest medication had not worked and to prepare for end of life care.
