Almost a million children and teenagers, in the UK, are affected by a bowel or bladder problem (day and night wetting, constipation and soiling). ERIC is the only charity dedicated to improve their lives. With the right support and information, the majority of these conditions can be resolved or managed, allowing children to live free from embarrassment, shame, isolation and fear.

My story; I am a Mother of 3 Beautiful children.

Almost 3 years ago my daughter Olivia  was 9 and  attending School with a poorly child who was having treatment and lost her hair. Olivia wanted to do something to help but she didn't  really know the child and thought it was really unfair to be so poorly and too loose her hair,  she thought she took it for granted that she got her hair cut on a regular basis, which gave her the idea of wanting to do something to help, that day I found her on Google looking for a way that this girl could have hair, Bless her.  So with the help from mummy we found THE LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST would appreciate her hair but she needed to have 10 inches, so here we are she now has over 10 inches of hair that we can donate and in the process raise money for ERIC which is a charity close to my heart.

My youngest child was born at 32 weeks and has come so far in  his 6 little years of life but it has had its downsides. My child is poorly and every day has to have medication to make his day a little bit easier, my perfect little boy can have pain which can cause him to not be able to walk, my perfect  little boy can not always eat meals as his tummy is so sore, my perfect  little  boy faces these troubles every day and you can not see it because its all happening inside his little body,

Without the help from this charity I think I would be an emotional wreck every day, I have a great consultant but I cant ring him up daily crying  about my child. ERIC have a call centre that I rang several times for advice whilst  sobbing my heart out and they have really helped me cope with my childs illness, they have a great website that I found really helpful I could also read other peoples stories and I no longer felt alone. I no longer felt ashamed no longer  felt like a bad mum because I felt I failed my perfect little boy, I can not take his pain away but with the help from this charity  I could be a stronger mother and with out the funds this charity would not be here and help people like me and my son overcome this long battle he is fighting.

Imogen is my cousins daughter and once she had heard about what Olivia is doing , she also wanted to help, Imogen is 10 years old and also has lovely long hair , she is willing to donate her hair to the little princess trust, whilst helping to raise awareness and funds for ERIC.

we are so proud of our little girls, they are so selfless and caring.

please donate. xxx
