Fighting for his life

A Kelowna teacher has now started the fight of his life.

Kevin Littlechilds, 40, has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

The loving father of two children – Hayden, 9, and Isla, 6 – had a seizure last week at his home while watching TV with his family. He was taken to Kelowna General Hospital by ambulance.

Littlechilds has taught at Okanagan Adventist Academy for his entire teaching career. 

"We are asking those who are able or have known someone with a brain tumour to send prayers, good vibes, healing thoughts, whatever their modality of love is," says his friend Angie Clowry.

"It's times like this when our faith is tested, when we need to slow down and focus on what is important and just be there for our friends. Focus on time with family, surrounding ourselves with friends and allowing those to help and take care of us."

Friends have started a GoFundMe page in hopes of alleviating some of the immediate financial burdens and to keep people up to date with the latest information on Littlechilds' prognosis.

"This way (his wife) Dawn is able to be with Kevin at the hospital and we can all chip in and financially take care of them and their children," said Clowry.
