Steven's story

In November 2024, Steven was diagnosed with myeloma, and his life was instantly turned upside down. Thanks to your donations, ELF has supported Steven throughout his blood cancer journey.

When Steven was unable to get to his chemotherapy treatment or consultant appointments, our hospital transport service stepped in to pick him up and take him home.

When he needed a stem cell transplant over consecutive days, we supplied accommodation close to the hospital to avoid lengthy repeat journeys, whilst our counselling service provided a safe space for

Steven to share his concerns following his diagnosis:

“Counselling has been instrumental in helping me navigate all the emotions that come with a cancer journey. The counsellor I speak to has literally made me survive some tough and testing times, and I'm eternally grateful!”

A keen photographer, Steven adds: “I have been selling photos and canvases locally to raise vital funds to give back to ELF so that they can continue to help others like me.”
