As many of you are aware I lost my daughter in July 2019 at the age of 18 in a car accident which turned my world upside down. In the early weeks and months I would call a free phone line run by The Compassionate Friends Charity which is manned by volunteers who are bereaved parents themselves.  This was invaluable support and really helped me through some dark days.

For the past 3 years I have struggled to understand and communicate how I am feeling and struggled to reach out for support but back in September 2022 I started attending a support group run by TCF where I could meet other parents who have lost children.  This is proving to be another invaluable support for me and again is run by volunteers.

TCF also do weekend retreats for not only bereaved parents, but also for siblings and grandparents too. The cost of a retreat can be around £260 so I would like to try and raise enough to be able to fund another bereaved parent’s place on a retreat who financially may not be able to fund it themselves.

Please Please Please help and support me on this challenge……10k is a long way for me……….No matter how big or small the donation may be, it all helps towards my target. 

Please see below if you’d like to know more about TCF.

EDIT:- due to the overwhelming support I have received I have upped my fundraising goal 3 times which will pay for more bereaved parents  to attend a retreat 🙏 

Thank you for your support - Laura
