Fearless's Appeal for Angel Wishes-Helping children smile again

Fearless Wigs is raising money for Angel Wishes

Angel Wishes- Helping children smile again · 25 April 2022

Angel Wishes was set up in memory of Helen and Brian Kerr and is a support group for children in Northern Ireland fighting cancer related conditions. We are run purely by volunteers and 100% of all money raised goes directly to providing treats and trips for the children. Memories last forever.

Story

At Fearless we have chosen Angel wishes as our Charity. We are donating 5% of every wig sold to angel wishes.
We will also be donating bandanas to any child that has suffered hair loss due to an affected medical condition. So  simply message us directly to avail of this

  • Angel Wishes support all children throughout Northern Ireland with cancer related conditions.At the time of diagnosis Angel Wishes will purchase a gift for the child, costing between £300-£400, we believe keeping our children in good spirits is just as important as the treatment plan and encourages them to continue their fight. 
  • Both parents have to leave work indefinitely with many of them on unpaid leave. Families can not apply for any government support ie. PIPS or Carers allowance until twelve weeks after the initial diagnosis.
  • If a child has to go across the water to go through a potentially life saving bone marrow transplant Angel Wishes donate £500 to every sibling in the household to help with the cost of flights back and forth to see their parents. This helps our siblings with the separation anxiety as they are left at home often with family friends...this can be up to 6 months or maybe more.
  • Parents can sit with the siblings before they leave and prebook flights so they can go and visit their parents, this helps change the children’s whole mind set. It is no longer mum and dad leaving them as they are now excited they’ll be going on a plane to visit mummy and daddy. A simple plan like the above can help our families so much throughout this journey. 

    • Outings:
      •  Families are kept isolated from extended family and friends. The entire journey leaves the parents fearful of meeting people and being constantly concerned about infection others may carry. Angel Wishes will bring as much normality back to the family as possible, in a safe environment, with private viewing at the cinema, private bowling nights, private outings to pantomimes and shows ...the list is endless and means so much to our children and their parents to have a little taste of normality without the added risks.                                                                 

    Devastatingly we will have children who no longer respond to treatment and are receiving palliative care. 

    At this stage Angel Wishes will endeavour to give families as many wonderful memories as possible, it may be days out together, private family photo shoots, anything the family would like at this stage of treatment we will endeavour to provide.

    Donations:

    Angel Wishes is ran purely by volunteers with 100% of all donations going directly back into supporting our wonderful children and their families and providing wonderful moments throughout their entire journey. 

    Without the generosity of people like yourselves we would be unable to help families throughout one of the hardest times of their lives.
