Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

When Matilda, our daughter was only a week old in 2019 she as rushed into hospital with a severe case of Bronchiolitis.

Matilda was admitted to the High Dependancy Unit at Sheffield Children’s Hospital and we were able stay at the hospital in Magnolia House thanks to the Sick Children’s Trust (SCT).

The SCT give families one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay, free of charge just minutes from their child's bedside.

For us and many other families in our situation they made an awful situation that bit easier and we’ll be forever thankful!
