Story

Ty Hafan children's hospice have been an incredible support to our family over the past two years.  They have been a complete lifeline and have supported all three of us in countless ways.  They get very little funding from the government/NHS and the vast majority of funds come from fundraising.  Unfortunately due to Covid they have been unable to run their usual fundraising events.  To try and support them, I am going to be doing a sponsored hair shave.  I have never had short hair and my hair is currently about  20 inches long, so it will be a dramatic change.  I will also be donating the hair to the Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children and young adults who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment.  Please consider sponsoring me and helping this incredible cause, however small an amount.

Ty Hafan, Wales leading childrens charity and hospice opened its doors 21 years ago and has been supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families ever since. After more than two decades of being used 365 days a year and providing essential around-the-clock care to over 1000 children and families in Wales, the hospice needed essential refurbishment so that it can continue to support families for the next 20 years and beyond. A donation from you today will help make a world of difference to children with life-limiting conditions and their families, both now and in the future. Please help however you can in this final push, it all matters. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To find out more about this appeal, please visit www.tyhafan.org/fitforfuture

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.
