The family of a three-year-old girl born with a extremely rare, terminal genetic condition - which affects only five other children in the world - are issuing a desperate plea to help create a safe space for her.
Little Eireann MacFarlane, from Whins of Milton, was diagnosed with a duplication of the FDXL 16 gene.
The family have been searching for answers for almost all of Eireann's life, with the youngster non-verbal, blind and in need of 24-hour care and monitoring, including being fed through a tube.
Eireann - who sleeps in the living room of the family home with her parents - is in in dire need of a specially adapted room to meet her complex needs.
With financial options for the family limited and facing the prospect of potentially having to move away from their home and the close support of neighbours who have offered assistance, they have launched a bid to raise £10,000.
Mum Margaret Wilson told the Observer: "Eireann is very sick, she takes seizures regularly, she can't be fed orally and is currently awaiting an operation to cut the glands in her throat.
"We had tried all of the common genetic testing to find out what the issue was, but it was only when we secured special funding that we got the advanced testing and it came back with the FDXL issue which carries a low life expectancy.
"We knew there was something not right from quite young because she wasn't able to develop as quickly as other children would have.
"The gene controls the whole body from speech to development; normally babies are born with two chromosomes and then they join together, but Eireann's haven't done that and it has jumbled up everything.
"Despite everything, she is the happiest wee girl with the most lovely personality - her smile just lights up the room and she doesn't know anything other than the life she has been given."
Margaret's eldest daughter Nicole has now launched an online fundraising page, with hopes of securing Eireann the care at home she requires for the rest of her life.
Margaret said: "There have been a lot of solutions we have tried, we have thought about a conservatory to the house but it would be too hot in summer and too cold in winter and Eireann can't go upstairs with a stairlift because she can't lift her head.
"One of the reasons we don't want to leave the house is because of the support we get here, someone gifted me a cot which is where Eireann sleeps in the living room with Brian and I.
"We are just looking for anybody who can offer us any help or advice or support in any way - we've tried Citizens Advice and disability services, but they don't know much about this."
The whole of the family including Margaret's partner and Eireann's dad Brian MacFarlane, their daughter Allanah, five, and Margaret's older children Nicole, David, Ryan, Callum have all stepped up to the plate to do their bit - as have those living near the family.
On the GoFundMe page, Nicole writes: "It's something no family ever prepares for - and yet here we are, doing everything we can to make her time as comfortable, safe, and full of love as possible.
"Every penny raised will go directly toward creating a safe, accessible space for Eireann - one where she can be cared for with dignity, love, and as much comfort as possible.
"We know times are tough for everyone, so please know: any donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Even if you're not in a position to give, sharing this page means the world to us.
"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, support, and kindness."
