Kim Allen wants to make the most of the time she has left''Please help me to make sure the time she has left with us is as special and memorable as she is."
Upon receiving the news of her devastating terminal cancer diagnosis last week, 33-year old Mother-of-two Kim Allen, was understandably left 'completely and utterly broken.'
However, the massive response to a public appeal issued on her behalf not long after the tragic news, has 'blown away ' the young-mum from Kells in Co.Meath.
The appeal was simple: Help Kim make as memories with her children Dean (16) and 11-year old Lauren (Lulu) as possible before she's gone.
In order to make this happen, a A Gofundme page, was set up by Kim's Sister Wendy.
And so far, it has already €7,000 of the €10,000 target.
Kim and her sister WendyIn a heart-rendering plea on the page, 40-year-old Wendy said: "My beautiful baby sister Kim has been told that she doesn't have long to live.
"While I can't do anything to save her beautiful life, I can make sure that short time she has left is full of fun, laughter and happy memories for her and her children.
"She still has so much she wanted to do in this life - go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower with her daughter, visit Rome with her son, go on a hot air balloon ride, do a parachute jump, climb Machu Picchu and go crazy in Las Vegas.
"I don't know how many of these things she will get to do in the time that she has left but my aim is to raise as many funds as possible to help her achieve the most important goals that will create the most precious memories and bonds that the children will hold for the rest of their lives.
"For those of you who know Kim, you know how much time and love she gives to other people so please help me to make sure the time she has left with us is as special and memorable as she is."
Kim and her Daughter Lulu (11)Heartfelt thanks
Responding to the generous donations, Kim said: "I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the kind gestures, lovely gifts, generous donations and sincere messages in the last week.
"When I got the news of my illness, my world was turned upside down and honestly, I felt completely and utterly broken. But I have been overwhelmed with the amount of love that family, friends and complete strangers have shown to me.
"I look forward to spending time with my family in the coming weeks and creating new memories that I would not have had the opportunity to experience without the support of all the people who donated to the GoFundMe page."
