His mom, Kerry, initially thought he’d shaved himself, but the bullying he faced at school — including a cruel comment about cancer — made it even harder. Despite desperate pleas for NHS help, their referral was denied without explanation. With private treatment out of reach, they launched a GoFundMe to afford a specialist appointment — a critical step before Leo starts secondary school. While NHS trusts say they’re working with the family, they also admit there’s no licensed treatment for kids under 12. But after hitting their fundraising goal, Leo’s first private appointment is finally booked — offering hope for answers and relief.
