Reynolds contributed to a GoFundMe page set up by Wrexham Police FC to help Lexi’s Christmas dream come true. His £10,000 donation pushed the total raised well beyond the £20,000 target, ensuring she will get her trip once she feels strong enough. The actor’s gesture was praised by fans and the local community.
As per The Daily Mail, Lexi was diagnosed shortly after a family holiday in June and has since undergone two open-heart surgeries, a pacemaker fitting and chemotherapy. Her story has touched many, with locals raising over £13,000 before Reynolds’ donation came in. Lexi, a big Home Alone fan, hopes to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree like her movie hero Kevin McAllister.
Reynolds has long been known for his generosity, especially within the Wrexham community since taking over the club. His support has lifted Lexi’s family at a time of immense hardship and highlighted how football can unite people for a greater cause. This donation also shines a light on rare illnesses that often receive little attention.
With her New York dream now secured, Lexi and her family will plan the trip around her treatment schedule. Any remaining funds may go towards creating her dream bedroom as a space for comfort and recovery. For the Collins family, the overwhelming support has provided hope and light during the darkest of times.
