Wesley Leleca Memorial Fundraiser
I am raising funds for Epilepsy QLD in memory of my son Wesley Leleca to ensure Epilepsy QLD are able to continue providing families & epileptic’s with vital CPR training & epilepsy support. Wesley suffered from autism, ADHD, amblyopia & was newly diagnosed with epilepsy in July 2023 after he began having seizures in February of the same year. On the 19th of November Wesley celebrated his 14th birthday with his family at home as he always did & on the 24th of November just 5 days later he suffered an epileptic seizure which stopped his heart beating & caused irreversible brain damage. With the CPR which his mother performed & the amazingly quick response from local emergency services Wesley’s heart came back but his beautiful brain only came back long enough for him to gather his family around him & help us see all the ways he would never leave in body & in spirit. On the 27th of November at 3.20pm Wesley Leleca was pronounced brain dead but he did not die, because of his giving heart he gave life instead. 2 children are alive because Wesley gave them his liver, 2 adults are alive because Wesley was a rare perfect match for both & gave them his kidneys & 1 incredibly lucky child is doing exceptionally well because they have the gift of Wesley’s perfect beautiful heart. In addition he will restore sight to several people, provide skin for burns victims, tendons for muscular injuries & save numbers that cannot be counted, through further research from his other tissue donations. To honour Wesley’s memory & continue a Legacy of Giving in his name we are fundraising for Epilepsy QLD in numerous ways to support the vital help they provide.
By supporting my fundraiser you will make a real difference.
Thank you!
