Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are raising money for LOROS Hospice, which is a local charity that cares for over 2,500 people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland every year; providing free, high-quality, compassionate care and support to terminally ill adult patients, their family and carers.
We lost the most pure, selfless and beautiful soul only a month ago -
Fal (to a lot of friends and family she was known as 'Resh'). As family and friends we
are still reeling from how quickly she was taken from us. Fal fought bravely against stomach cancer,
the most aggressive type that only gave her a year from the time she was
diagnosed. In Fal's true fashion, she
wanted to spare her loved ones from seeing her last days in the family home,
where we would undoubtedly find the memories even more painful and heart
wrenching, reliving it in the home she loved and not so long ago lost our
father in. She therefore decided she wanted to spend her final days at LOROS a
local charity run hospice that provides care for those who are terminally ill
and at end of life, which is dependent on donations, a place close to Fal's
heart. The care, support and empathy that we received as a unit, was
overwhelming. LOROS never said 'no' to any request, it was indeed home from
home. Fal's ever smiling serene face was mirrored by hard working staff and the
invaluable compassionate volunteers. We cannot express our gratitude and thanks
enough, only to say we hope all the donations will help facilitate other
families during their hours of need, as it did ours, for that we thank you.
This is why we have and are as per Fal's request making all donations to LOROS.
It is our small way of giving something back.
