Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My cousin Martin died in August 2019 aged just 45; he had heart failure while on holiday abroad with his wife Sarah and 2 young sons. His boys witnessed something no child ever should! 

Sarah got in touch with Grief Encounter soon after our tragic loss and they have been continuously supportive over the years, offering group sessions and one to one counselling plus much more along with various other guidance.  All of this has been free to Sarah and the boys and is funded by charitable donations.  To be able to give something back to the Charity to help thousands of other families in the same position means so much. 

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.
