According to the report, Leylan was a keen horse rider. He often spends his time helping out that stables near his house. Now, he’s on a wheelchair. His mother Angela set up a fundraising to convert their house to allow her son stay with them.
“Harvey just wants to come home and I’m desperate to make that happen. I just want my son back… he needs people his own age – he needs his family around him. Knowing that he might not be able to come home is having a negative effect on his mental health.”
