Our thoughts go out to the family.
In March this year MKR judge, Manu Feildel received a heart wrenching letter from a mother of an 18-month-old. Ashley, a young mum from Perth reached out to Feildel telling him that her baby had been diagnosed with a rare condition called Krabbe Disease.
She told the culinary judge that her son, Levi had a life expectancy of 2 years and that her son had a special love for Manu’s voice.
Today, Feildel posted on social media to let his followers know that the beautiful Levi had passed away.
He captioned the photo, “I’m really sorry to hear that the little angel has decided to fly to heaven already. I wish I’ve had the chance to see him and kiss his forehead one more time. All my heart is with you and sending you lots of love. Rest in peace my darling Levi xoxoxoxo”
In her letter to Feildel, Ashley wrote, "Levi can no longer move any part of his body, speak, feed orally or laugh and smile... he requires oxygen and constant oral suctioning so he doesnt choke on his secretions... but he was not always like this, Levi was a massive lover of all foods, always smiled and laughed, and had almost started getting up on his hands and knees."
