EMERGENCY APPEAL

Emergency Appeal - Show you care

Help us support local North Devon families who are faced with the unimaginable challenge of having a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

A family supporting and caring for their child is now more vulnerable than ever with the unprecedented challenges COVID 19 brings, especially those with immune supressed illnesses like cancers, leukaemia and heart conditions. They need our help more than ever before, but our money will soon run out without your support.

Every year we help between 15 and 20 local families. On diagnosis of a child’s life-threatening illness, we give instant grants of £800 to support families with travel, living costs and loss of earnings. This helps families who are struggling to meet the costs of visiting specialist hospital appointments in Bristol, Exeter or London. If they are still struggling after six weeks, we can offer extra help.

Our charity is self-funded and relies on donations, fundraising and sponsorship of events. Right now, all our normal fundraising activities have stopped. But families still need our help.

Please help us get through Covid-19 and support our virtual fundraising events together we can continue to help care for a child close to you.

Donate, share, show you care.
