This Christmas, seriously ill children and their families will face many struggles. Every moment of practical support you provide by donating today will be a gift which will help make their Christmas as magical as it should be.
Will you help remove the struggles families caring for a seriously ill child face this Christmas?
Christmas is a time to create cherished moments with those you love. But caring for a seriously ill child can cause many worries and struggles – both emotionally and financially.
That’s why, with your help, we will do everything we can to give them the support they need to help remove these struggles so that they can spend less time worrying and more time building joyful memories with their child.
You can help parents like Donna who are caring for a seriously ill child
I worry everyday about Mary but I’m grateful for every day we get because I’m so aware that time is precious.
The extra demands of caring for a child with serious health needs can be such a struggle so, one day I reached out for Together for Short Lives and they’ve been there for us ever since.
They’ve supported me in many ways including giving energy advice and a voucher to help cover bills. This means we can stay a little bit warmer this Christmas. And they’ve always been there on the phone to listen to my fears.
Just knowing there are people that you can reach out to if you are having a bad day or a bad week is a lifeline.
Every moment of support you give to a family will be a gift
