Support My Walk and Help Change a Child’s Life!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that together with two of my colleagues, Anya and Roshana, we will be walking Half-Marathon Through Hillingdon Borough on 10th October, to raise funds for Home-Start Hillingdon.

Some of you might know why Home-Start Hillingdon is a charity very close to my heart and why this cause is very important to me - I have experienced first-hand the benefits of their involvement at a very difficult moment of my life. Home-Start volunteers truly prove they believe in their mission and understand that being a parent is never easy. It can be lonely, frustrating, heart breaking and over-whelming.

When one of their trained volunteers started working with us, I was struggling to cope with the changes of becoming a mother. My son was 2 years-old and I was fighting a severe post-natal depression on top of an even more serious and undiagnosed mental health condition. My home and my family life were…a mess. But Christine was ready to support us through those toughest times because she really understood how hard it can be. Throughout the months she worked with us she helped me cope and develop the skills, confidence and strength I needed to build myself up from the ground and to nurture my child.

Thinking back of those years and the incredible support I have received from Home-Start I can confidently say that they live by their motto:” With the help of a Home-Start volunteer, the impossible becomes possible

Would you be able to contribute to my fundraiser? A donation of any amount would truly help us support this amazing charity, their volunteers and, by extension, another family in need.
