I'm Chloe, I'm 10 years old and my Dad died last year when I was only 9yrs old. My Dad was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer in 2016. He went through chemotherapy and radiotherapy to try and stay with me.

He first went to Severn Hospice after losing a lot of weight at the end of 2017. The doctors and nurses made him well enough to come home to spend Christmas with me.

He had to go back to the Hospice in the New Year of 2018 and was told he only had weeks left to live.  He died in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2018, aged 51.

Dad liked the people in the Hospice and was made to feel at home. He liked looking out of the window of his room at the birds in the garden.

I didn't know what a hospice would be like before my Dad got ill. I liked the people that worked there especially the nurses that looked after him and the craft lady who helped me make a collage the day before he died. It's more relaxed than a hospital at Severn Hospice and the people that work there make the patients feel special.

They took time to talk to me and asked me things that Dad had told them about school and cheerleading.

I will never forget having a laugh with Dad, he always acted silly around me. We would go on long walks together, until he couldn't walk very far, then we would lie in bed and watch films and listen to music.

I want to support the hospice because they have to survive off donations and fundraising. They do a really great job and need the money to help them.
