Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m raising money for a cause that really means a lot to me, so I ask you read on to find out a little more about the charity I’m raising money for… then please please donate by clicking the button!

Helen’s Trust is a vital charity that helps anyone with an incurable illness to have the choice to spend their final days in their own home. I’m raising money so that Helen’s Trust can fund things like:

- round the clock nursing care,
- equipment such as a stair lift so someone can go up to bed,
- a washing machine to wash bed clothes,
- transport to and from hospital appointments,
- a massage from a complimentary therapist to help relieve pain,
- a nursery place for a child to give a sick parent the opportunity to rest.

Often people who are ill can’t afford to fund these things themselves and so will have no choice but to go into hospital to die, rather than be comfortable at home surrounded by their family and friends.  Sometimes it is really simple things that can make a huge difference and give more comfort than you can ever imagine.

Helen’s Trust does make a difference to the lives of the people they are privileged to help. This is a "thank you" they received from a lady who lost her sister to an incurable illness:

“…She asked me to lay by her at night so she was not on her own. This situation lasted only three nights, but seemed like a life time. Then Helen’s Trust came into being…

All of a sudden I felt I could cope and make sure her last days were as she would have wanted. We had the opportunity to spend her last days together, talking and reminiscing in a wonderful relaxed atmosphere all thanks to Helen’s Trust. It has certainly helped me to cope with my grief, to be able to nurse a loved one in their home is a real gift…Thank you.”

Please remember that every single £1 that you donate will mean that a person who has an incurable illness can spend a little more time at home with their friends and family…
