Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are Team #BeMoreWilliam 

William is a brave 3 year old who faces a life of therapy just to function. He’s getting close to being able to stand unaided and walk so let’s help him achieve his goal! 

This page is to allow us to raise VITAL funds for Williams needs through a charity, tree of hope . The aim is to improve his motor function, give him the ability to use his digital Voice and improve his quality of life. 

William has had over 40 ambulances in the last couple years for seizures and breathing issues and infections and takes nebulisers and twice daily medications to stay alive. He has a rare neurological disorder called Angelman syndrome. He’s such a brave boy and always bounces back so we started a hash tag due to his bravery!

You can donate on the page or by text: 

text 'BEMOREWILLIAM 5’ to 70085 to donate £5. This costs £5 plus a std rate msg. Alternatively, you can opt to give any whole amount up to £20. Thanks!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

As said above this just giving page is to allow us through a charity tree of hope to raise VITAL funds for Williams needs and improve his motor function, give him the ability to use his digital Voice and improve his quality of life.

Why through a charity like tree of hope? Well it allows us to approach companies that can only donate to registered charities and ask for donations for Williams cause. We can apply for gift aid and even with the small fee the charity take (which are less than direct jg fees), we get more money per pound than doing our own crowdfunding page as we have in the past.

They can also set up payments on our behalf to the therapies saving me vital time and hassle!!! They can also help negotiate vat discounts from companies, something we will need when we do the house modifications.

7.5% of all donations to Tree of Hope in relation to this appeal will be allocated to the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope to cover core operating costs.
 
If we raise insufficient funds, or surplus funds, then the funds will be used, if appropriate, to fund support for our child’s needs in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objects.  If in those circumstances we are unable to use all or part of the funds for the benefit of our child in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objects, then any funds that cannot be used will be transferred to be used for the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope.
 
If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to call the family support team on 01892 535525.
