Story

Kathryn is a Derian House nurse. She says: People often ask how I can look after dying children. Well I am at peace with the idea that I cannot fix or cure every child, as much as I may like to, but what I can do is offer support, comfort and reassurance, and instill a sense of calm for a family in a world that feels like it is falling apart. I cant stop it from happening but I can make it the best it can be. When it comes to the moment where you are standing by a child in his or her final hours and minutes of life, I feel a huge sense of responsibility. I often stop and realise that the parents are going to think of this very moment for as long as they will remember. I truly love my job and, in the end, I aim to treat people how I would like to be treated. " I have pledged to raise £150 to sponsor a Derian nurse like Kathryn for a day - please help me do this. Thank you
