Why your support matters - make a difference this October

Children and young people with cancer are facing a long, exhausting Autumn with days spent many miles from home.

This Autumn, children, young people and families going through cancer treatment will need to make early morning journeys to hospital and weary drives home in the dark. Parents will sleep in uncomfortable hospital chairs and spend hours worrying about the uncontrollable costs of hotels, petrol and food. Meanwhile, siblings will be left at home - their family separated at the most worrying time.

But your support changes everything.

It means the whole family can stay in our welcoming Homes from Home, close to specialist childhood cancer treatment centres. For families, it’s more than a free place to stay. It’s a place that feels like home. It’s having the time for a home-cooked meal together or a mug of hot chocolate with a bedtime story. But most of all, when everything else is uncertain, it’s a chance to just be together.

Cancer doesn’t have to mean families are torn apart. That special moments are lost. You can keep families together this Autumn.
