A family is appealing for Liverpool's support to bring joy to a young boy whose mum is battling for survival in intensive care. Tasha Farah, 31, faces an "uncertain road of recovery and rehabilitation" following a catastrophic injury.
A Gofundme campaign was launched to fund her care, as the mum-of-one, from the Old Colwyn area of North Wales, will require intensive assistance "to regain even the simplest parts of her life". So far, thousands of pounds have been donated, and her family is now reaching out to the city of Liverpool once more for assistance.
Tasha's mum Denise Farah, 52, said: "We're in a living hell. Tasha has only got one boy, Roman, he adores his mum and she adores him and with everything going on right now we just want to do something to make him smile."

Roman is passionate about football and devoted to Liverpool FC. In fact, when Tasha brought Roman to Anfield for his first visit, he declared it the "best day of his life," according to Denise. The family would be thrilled to see Roman at Anfield as a team mascot and is hoping media attention might help make that aspiration a reality, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Denise said: "My grandson is obsessed with football, he's quite good himself he plays for The Falcons in North Wales. He loves Mo Salah too. With everything going on with his mum we just hoped we could do something nice to put a smile on his face and take his mind off it. He is going through hell and we'd love some sunshine in this very very dark time, a bit of light to see him happy."
Tasha remains in a critical condition while an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her injuries has been launched. Denise revealed the family are "taking it minute by minute, hour by hour" as she remains "not well."

Tasha's sister Samantha had previously stated: "My sister Tasha is currently in intensive care after a devastating injury. Right now, she is fighting for her life, and every moment is critical. Our family is by her side, holding onto hope and praying for her recovery.
"She is facing a long, uncertain road of recovery and rehabilitation, and will need intensive care, therapy, and support to regain even the simplest parts of her life. Tasha is not just a sister - she is a mum to her beautiful eight-year-old son, Roman. Right now, he needs stability, love, and support more than ever while his mum fights to come back to him."
Making a heartfelt plea for support, she continued: "We are completely unprepared for the financial and emotional weight of what lies ahead-ongoing hospital care, rehabilitation, time away from work, and making sure Roman is safe, supported, and cared for through this trauma.
"We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for any help you can give. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Tasha's fight to recover and giving her the best possible chance to rebuild her life-and to be there for her son again.
"Please keep Tasha in your thoughts and prayers. Your support means more than we can put into words. We will continue to share updates as we hold onto hope."
Tasha's crowdfunding campaign has already surpassed £9,000 of its £11,000 target. Donations can be made online.
