There are now 7 hospitals providing the Cash Gift from Josie's Dragonfly Trust to children & teenagers where treatment is no longer curative.
Another 17 hospitals have to wait until we have the funds. Sadly the children in those hospitals who qualify for this special Gift can't wait.
They do not have time.
We have given over 50 Cash Gifts this year. We should have givien 600.
Please help us give more of these kids the chance to make one more happy memory.
Here are just a few examples of how the cash gift has made a difference to the last days or weeks of children & young people with cancer:
- To buy a wedding dress for a young woman.
- A break for a family to collect some special memories
- Nintendo & games for a young lad confined to his home.
- For a young boy to buy presents for his family and baby bother.
- For a double bed so a single mum could sleep next to her young son to comfort him.
- For a laptop so a teenager could keep in touch with her friends at university through msn.
- For a very special birthday party.
- For young people to buy parting gifts for their loved ones.
- To buy video cameras for families to keep treasured memories.
- For a teenager to spend precious time with her mum at a spa.
- For a young man to achieve some of his personal goals.
- For a young man to treat his extended family to a big family meal out.
- Money to spend on simple treats to try and bring a little happiness to each day.
