I feel honoured to have been asked to build a bespoke extension which will contain specialist equipment for an amazing young boy who is 9
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the amazing Oliver James – Known by his nearest and dearest as Olly Boy/OJ.
Olly Boy was born prematurely at 30 weeks in Portsmouth and due to a range of complex needs spent the first nine months of his life in hospital. This was a rollercoaster time for both Olly and his family with numerous investigations, procedures, visits to various hospitals including Great Ormond Street and what seemed like an endless struggle to get him well enough to come home.
Eventually Olly was diagnosed with a chromosome deletion which has long term implications for his development and in addition to this, when he was 4 months old he had a tracheostomy procedure carried out at Great Ormond Street which he still has in place now, although we all hope this may not be for ever.

Despite all of this Olly is an absolute star, in fact a legend with a smile that melts the hearts of anyone he meets. He cannot walk, sit unaided or talk but remains an incredibly happy little boy who gets around by rolling. He belly laughs at things he finds funny, there may be no audible sound but the massive grin from ear to ear says it all. His absolute favourite is to watch Mr Tumble on the TV .
Olly has a younger brother – Alex, who loves to roll around on the floor with him, a precious moment to watch. He also has two cousins that like to play. Olly is known to give the biggest, tightest hugs you can imagine especially to his mum! Who is an amazing lady, who is passionate in making sure Olly receives the love, care and support he duly deserves.
Obviously, there are times when Olly is unwell and may have to be in hospital, which is a tough time on his mum Anna and the family, but even then, he is a stoic and brave little boy who still tries his best to squeeze out a smile!

The aim of this renovation is to provide Olly with a practical, functional but comfortable living space. Olly is a growing lad and its getting more and more difficult to manually lift him independently.

We are sending you this letter in the hope that you would consider donating concrete/ready mix or offer a considerable discount to help me to create this renovation/build.

Thank you for your time in reading this letter, I’m positive that by everyone’s generosity this little lad will have a safe, clean and functional environment, which ultimately will play a large part in keeping him germ free and reducing his hospital stays.

Kindest regards
