As many of you know, Liv receives dialysis at home, and while this allows her to stay close to us, it also fills our home with an overwhelming amount of medical waste and equipment. The first photos (see gallery below) show what accumulates just between the pickups - plastic bags, cardboard boxes, supplies - it all takes up a huge part of our home.
Liv’s room is filled with essential medical equipment, leaving little room for comfort or calm. She also needs to be closely monitored during the night, so the space isn’t just for her - it’s for us to be near, to watch over her, and to respond when needed.
Every other Thursday, we receive large deliveries of her dialysis supplies. You can see the boxes stacked down the hallway - a constant reminder of the scale of what’s involved in caring for our brave little girl.
That’s why this new conservatory space we’re building is so important. It’s not just a project - it’s a necessity. We’ve been incredibly lucky to have help from our family, who built the main structure with love and dedication. Once they left, we took over with everything we could manage ourselves.
And here, I just have to say - Liv’s mum is simply amazing. On top of everything she already does - day and night care, emotional support, and constant planning - she’s been putting in every extra ounce of energy to help finish this space. After a full day, she’s still up smoothing walls, organizing, cleaning, making it warm and welcoming. Tirelessly. She’s our rock and Liv’s biggest hero.
We’re doing everything we can, even when we’re running on empty. And we couldn’t do this without your help.
Thank you all for being here with us on this journey. Every share, every kind word, and every donation keeps us moving forward toward making a space that Liv so deeply deserves - a space for healing, comfort, and hope.
With love and gratitude,
Lasse, Vitalia & Liv
