My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There are currently a thousand families in the North East region coping with the most devastating news any parent can hear. Their much-loved child will not live to adulthood. For some, death will come in weeks, for others, it may take years. Whatever time left is precious and a children's hospice can help make the most of their remaining time.

The North East has the lowest number of children's hospice beds in the country, 4 available in Teesside and 8 in Newcastle. This number clearly does not meet the demand and as more children with life-limiting illnesses now survive beyond their first days, or months, demand for extended life care increases. Provision for hospice care is crucial and Grace House will have a catchment area covering the whole of the North East from the borders of Scotland to Teesside.

Grace House will offer palliative, respite and end-of-life care for children as well as offering long-term bereavement support to families.

They can't add days to the lives of these children.........but they can help put better quality of life into their days.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Anything would be appreciated, no matter how small.

Thank you.
