Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been blessed with a beautiful family one girl Lola
who is 8 & a boy Brodie nearly 3, When Brodie was born he spent most of his
early months in hospital due to severe breathing problems.

We spent a good few months yo-yoing back & forth until
the last time he was admitted he was struggling bad, it all happened to
quickly, from being taken in to rushed into the recess theatre.

My beautiful little boy was screaming & we just had to
stand back while the doctors did what they could to bring him to a stable
condition. Still to this day I can remember every detail & taste the fear
& helplessness that washed over me thinking that this could be the day that
I lost my ray of sunshine.

We were lucky…. although Brodie must take medication every
day to keep his breathing stable he is here & growing up, filling our lives
with joy & laughter.

I came across Jessie May due to my job at Total guide to, I
had never heard of them until now, I was completely blown away by the courage of
the families & nurses that use this charity & the services they
provide. I wanted to do something to help them. No parent should have to go
through the loss of a child it just doesn’t sit right with the balance of
mother nature herself. So, I committed to a skydive, because I am terrified of
heights but the bravery I need to do this challenge is nothing compared to the
bravery that these families face every single day.

Help me raise awareness of this wonderful charity &
sponsor what you can because really every penny counts. It doesn’t change what
happens to these poor children but it can make it easier to deal with, knowing
that someone is there & someone cares.

Vision
Our vision is a world in which all children and young people with life limiting
conditions are empowered and able to access the support they want for
themselves and their families. We aim to ensure that they have the very best
quality of life possible and can exercise their right to live and to be cared
for in their own homes with their families.

Mission

Our mission is to work in partnership with families and other agencies to deliver
and develop quality respite and palliative care services in the home for all
children and young people with life limiting conditions and their families who
choose them and who live in our geographical area.

Values

• We believe that it is in the
       best interests of children and families that we work collaboratively and
       in partnership with the other agencies providing complementary services to
       children and families with life limiting conditions.
   
• We believe that parents and
       carers usually know what is best for their child and we aim to work in
       partnership with them so that they and their children are empowered to
       choose how and when they want services delivered.

 
• We believe it is important to
       focus on the child and not on his/her condition. We strive to be open and
       honest in our communications with all those that have an interest in our
       work and our organisation.

 
• We strive to be creative and
       innovative in order to meet the needs of families and to deliver
       excellence.

 
• We believe that all children
       have equal value and all children have potential to be fulfilled no matter
       how short their life.

 
• We believe that all children
       and families have the right to be supported at home and to choose how that
       support is provided irrespective of their ethnic, religious, cultural or
       other background.

 
• We believe that all family
       members have a right to this support and we strive for a holistic
       approach.
