Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi everyone I am raising money for little havens hospice. 

Little havens have helped me create so many wonderful memories with my big sister Bella.  

We have been visiting little havens since I was born and would have lovely family respite especially when my sister was very poorly. 

In august 2021 we stayed in little havens for ten days as my sister became very poorly. Even though we knew Bella wouldn’t be coming back home they helped  me continue to play with my sister and to  make memories right until the end. When Bella died we stayed at the hospice with Bella and I made lots of memory items  with the staff and they have now created a sibling group so that I can meet other children who have also lost a sibling.

 little havens helped bella for fifteen years and all the support and care is free and does not cost the families anything.  

The hospice was originally closed for end of life care when bella deteriorated. However they went above and beyond to open up for us so we could say goodbye in our second home. These ten days they opened for us came at a cost of £60,000.

My family and I would love to raise as much money as possible to help little havens continue to provide care to other children and families and to make sure they know just how special they all are.
