Story

<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in support of Grove House a hospice next to where I live that is a charity offering free services to local people living with cancer and life-threatening illness.</p> <p>Grove House leads the way in supporting patients, families and friends living with cancer or a life-threatening illness in St.Albans, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas. Grove House believes everyone affected by cancer or life-threatening illness has the right to access specialist care to have the best possible quality of life. They help alleviate symptoms, like pain, or some of the feelings of helplessness and vulnerability, that come with life-threatening illness.</p> <p>Your sponsorship money is important to Grove House and its Services. Here are a few examples of how your sponsorship can help:</p> <p>&pound;37 a day pays for a Play Therapist to support a grieving child and help them face the future.</p> <p>&pound;85 a day pays for a nurse in the Day Hospice to support a patient with pain relief.</p> <p>&pound;200 pays for a counsellor to help a patient and their family cope with distress or grief.</p> <p>&pound;620 pays for one Hospice at Home nurse to care for a patient in their own home for a week, allowing the patient to decide where they spend their last days.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
