The pair started a family and planned to build their dream home before they received some devastating news
A fundraising campaign has been set up for an Irish couple whose dreams of returning home and starting a family have been shattered by a heartbreaking medical diagnosis.
Declan, 39, was employed as a construction supervisor, while his wife Joanne, originally from Midleton in Cork, worked as a nurse. Everything was going according to plan until 2021 when, shortly after the birth of their son Levi, their circumstances took a tragic turn.READ MORE: Irish gran declared dead in ambulance later 'woke up' in hospital
After Declan was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy in May this year, friends and family initiated a fundraiser to help the couple realise their dream of building a home where they could raise their children. Sadly, there's currently no cure or specific treatment for MSA, and it typically comes with a short life expectancy of about 10 years from when symptoms start appearing.
