Raising Money For Hope House Hospice


This week I had the shock of my life when. we hit the headlines in the county times. This month marks what would have been Daniels 21st Birthday.  Each birthday he has always hurts but this one I know will hurt that little bit more. For Daniels 18th we had a village party as Jingle his little pony was also 21 years old. This year I started getting agitated at beginning of the month wondering what we could do to mark his 21st birthday. 
The situation we find ourselves in was not practical for doing another village party, I am not very well, but we also have my mum with dementia and Simon with stage 4 cancer so a party would have been to much for us to organise and also with Aaron away a lot of the time at uni it would have been extra difficult. 
So here we are with the help of Hope House Children's Hospice and the local press we have set up a campaign in Daniels memory to raise funds for hope house hospice.
Hope House is a vital service for anyone with a child who has a life limited illness. The support they provide is vital for anyone who finds themselves in the position where their child has died, or has life limitations. It could happen to anyone of us, just imagine if it happened to you and there was no help to get you through the worst time in your lives.
Please support this cause and help us raise as much money for Hope House Children's Hospice in memory of our Daniel. 
Every penny counts in this campaign so come on guys dig deep in those pockets and down the sides of the couch. All donations welcome form just £1 to whatever you can afford. 
Daniel was a very special little boy who did n to deserve to die the way he did. Unless you where in the position I was in, you will never know how hard it is. The link below will take you to the fund raising page.

There is a lot of controversy in the news regarding the way mentally handicapped people are treated in hospital. When I get the courage to write about the painful situation I found myself  in and the events that led up to his death.
