A couple, who have a baby with a life-threatening condition, are facing homelessness after struggling to keep up with rent payments. Hannah Marsden and her partner Michael were recently served with a Section 21 eviction notice on their flat.
The couple struggled to conceive naturally and were considering IVF before they found out they were expecting. Hannah's pregnancy went smoothly at first, but when they went for their 20-week scan things took a devastating turn.
They were referred to a specialist hospital where doctors told them that their unborn daughter had a condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. They were told they had three options - terminate the pregnancy, let nature take its course, or use all medical intervention possible to try and prolong their baby's life.
