Ty Hafan Ride To The Rugby Dublin 2020 · 4 February 2020 ·

Sadly, thousands of families in Wales live every day knowing their child’s life will be short. At the moment, they often face this without any care or support. Alone. Afraid. Isolated. Tŷ Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

Story

Thomas was a fit & well 8 year old boy, until January 2018 when he was diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) a rare, genetic & terminal brain disease. It slowly destroyed the protective outer core of the nerves in his brain, reducing him to a vegetative state in less than a year. In June this year, Thomas died peacefully in Ty Hafan. 

I can’t emphasise enough how important this place is. The care, compassion, support we received were 2nd to none from the start to the end of Thomas’ journey. 

Every penny you donate goes to helping kids like Thomas and families like mine. It costs over £12k a day to run, or £4.5 million a year, over 90% of which comes from charitable donations. Your donation really counts!
