Story

What we get is hope... Kindred give us hope... every meeting we've had with them we've walked out with hope...like there's light at the end of the tunnel. They're not giving up so we've not given up.

What has lockdown meant for you? We have heard lots of different stories, from the frustration of social distancing to the unexpected bonus of a bit more family time, from the uncertainty of secure income to the realisation of just how important seeing wider family and friends can be. One of the unexpected things we have heard is that enforced lockdown lifestyle has meant saving a bit of money or, for some folk, quite a lot! Unexpected economising from not meeting pals for meals out, or drinks down the pub, to saving on that daily takeaway latte. If you want to pass on some of that unexpected saving to make a difference, please donate to Kindred.

We were at a real low and had just run out of energy to fight but Kindred picked us up and fixed everything. Going from a diagnosis to dealing with disability are miles apart and Kindred was there to provide support and help me acknowledge my dreams for my child needed to be adapted.

Kindred has offered free support to families of children with disabilities, lifelong and terminal conditions for over 30 years. In that time the parents and children we've worked with have faced many difficulties and challenges but being in lockdown during a pandemic wasn't one of them. So in these unprecedented times we've adapted to keep our service going through remote working so that we can be there when parents need us most. We would love it if you could help us. A donation from your "Little Bit Left Over" would mean a lot to our families.

Kindred have been a lifesaver for us. They helped us access funding for furniture for Ailsa and put us in contact with people at the hospital to assist with parking when she was having her brain surgery. They also helped us with filling out the dreaded DLA forms and provided information on help and support available to us. They are lovely people with a wealth of knowledge.
