This Is Why We Are Doing It...

Abby's Heroes
We work specifically with the Piam Brown Ward in Southampton, which
looks after children across the South Coast, having been diagnosed with
cancer.
We offer families, including bereaved families, financial support,
practical help and the chance to have some fun filled memory making
trips.
As a family that has passed through through this ward, we are acutely
aware of how traumatic it can be for both the child and their family.
Everyone's lives are completely taken over by the diagnosis and their
worlds are thrown into chaos as they sit and helplessly watch their
child goes through the rigours of treatment. Your world becomes a series
 of hospital stays, appointments, awful treatments and general misery.
Families are seperated, jobs have to be given up, the pressure becomes
enormous.
At Abby's Heroes, we aim to provide a family with support, be that
financial or practical, personalised to each families requirements. Help
 with bills, buying equipment, or treating the family to a break, a
chance to have some precious family time, are all covered by Abby's
Heroes.
Our daughter Abby died 29th May 2016, having been a patient on the ward
since May 2013. She was a bright, sparkly, generous soul, much loved by
her family and all those who were lucky enough to have met her.
To continue our daughters memory, in her spirit, be a hero, make a
difference and do something for someone else. No matter how small, or
large, any donation is welcomed with love and appreciation.
