When a child is severely ill in hospital, it’s important for their family to be close by. One of the ways The Lily Foundation supports families affected by mitochondrial disease it to provide much-needed hospital accommodation so that parents and children can be together during the most difficult times.

 Help us make a difference by donating £10 to our fund this Giving Tuesday.

“We honestly don’t know how we would have coped without Crawford House – they really looked after all of us. All the staff were lovely to our family, always making an effort to say “hello” and asking about Luke's progress. We knew that they were there if we needed them and they were very respectful if we did not want to talk or were having a bad day; sometimes we really appreciated just a simple "hello" as we were very upset and did not want to talk to anyone. As soon as Luke was able to walk he came across to Crawford House with us, it was just far enough for him to go because he was a bit unsteady. I truly believe knowing we were so close helped him to recover faster and we often call in when we are at RVI for outpatient appointments, just to say hello and thank everyone again – we will always be grateful to The Sick Children’s Trust.” 

These are the word of one of the families who benefited from the room we sponsor through the Sick Children's trust.   

By being part of Giving Tuesday 2017, your donation will allow us to continue to sponsor places like this at hospitals across the UK. 

Thank you.
