A family is appealing for Liverpool FC's help to bring joy to a young boy whose mother is fighting for her life in intensive care after a devastating injury. Tasha Farah, 31, from Old Colwyn, North Wales, faces an uncertain road to recovery following a catastrophic injury, and her family is reaching out to the city of Liverpool for support.
Her mother 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. With everything going on right now, we just want to do something to make him smile.' Roman, 7, is a passionate football fan and devoted to Liverpool FC. When Tasha took him to Anfield for his first visit, he declared it the 'best day of his life'.
Denise added: '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.' The family hopes media attention might help make Roman a team mascot at Anfield.
Tasha remains in critical condition, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her injuries has been launched. Her sister Samantha said: '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. 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.'
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to fund her care, raising over £9,000 of its £11,000 target. Samantha 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. 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.'
