Help Little Sparks Enfield Shine Brighter: Honouring My Sister's Memory

Hello, my name is Senada Gjokaj. I am running the Battersea Park half Marathon on the 27th of July 2024. I would like to raise money for little sparks Enfield charity which holds a very close place in my heart. In 2018, I lost my beloved little sister, Sabjana, to Cardiomyopathy. I am running the half marathon in her memory and in honour of the strength she showed during her battle against her heart condition and support Little Sparks Enfield Charity, an organisation dedicated to providing solace and comfort to bereaved families and those facing end-of-life care.

Sabjana passing is when I was first introduced to Little Sparks Enfield Charity. They were a glimmer of light at the end of a dark, never-ending tunnel for me and my family. They provided advice, support and shed light on the next steps that needed to be done when you lose a loved one. At the time, life is very blurry and Little Sparks Enfield led the way in knowing how to deal with grief and where to turn to.

Sabjana was not just my sister; she was my best friend, confidante, and source of endless joy. Her smile could light up a room, and her laughter was contagious. When she was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy, our entire family rallied around her, hoping, and praying for her recovery. Despite the challenges she faced, Sabjana remained resilient, teaching us all the true meaning of courage and perseverance. Sabjana received a heart transplant and lived a life full of laughter, happiness, and experiences. 2 years later, her body no longer could go on.

Little Sparks Enfield Charity is a beacon of hope for families navigating the darkest of times. They provide essential support services to bereaved families, offering comfort, guidance, and resources to help them cope with their loss. Additionally, they support families with children on end-of-life care ensuring that every precious moment is filled with love, dignity, and compassion.

My goal is to raise £2000 to support the invaluable work of Little Sparks Enfield Charity. These funds will go towards providing: Fun days out for the families, precious memory days, Christmas Party for the families, Bereaved sibling groups, Parent groups and 1-1 bereavement work with parents and children.

By donating to this fundraiser, you will directly impact the lives of families who are facing unimaginable pain and grief. Your generosity will provide them with the support and comfort they desperately need during their darkest hours. Together, we can help Little Sparks Enfield shine even brighter and bring a glimmer of hope to those who need it most.

Please consider donating whatever you can to this worthy cause and sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and networks.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your kindness, generosity, and support. Your contributions will make a lasting impact on the lives of countless families, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you for your compassion and support. In Memory of All the brave and strong children that had sadly lost their lives.
