Sponsor a Child
Give the Gift of Hope
Help to transform the lives of children with rare and terminal illnesses by supporting the provision of respite care and therapy in South and East Europe.
Did you know that in Europe it is estimated that 170,000 children in need of palliative care die each year?
Can you help us to change this?
For only £20 a month you will contribute to a range of care and therapies offered to very sick child patients cared for by our partner hospices, from medication, physiotherapy and counselling services, to transport and education. When you sponsor a child you’re not only helping the individual child, you are also helping their entire family and those around them who contribute to their care.
When you sponsor a child, you will receive:
- A welcome pack which will tell you all about the child, as well as the work we as a charity are doing to support these children.
- Around 8 weeks after you register to be a sponsor, you will receive a letter or drawing from a child patient.
- You will also receive a Christmas / new year update, and an annual progress update on the child, as well as information about our wider work
See below for one of the patients currently benefiting from the Sponsor a Child program.
Mihai Zamfir "Mihaita"
11 year old Mihaita is one of children currently benefiting from our Sponsor a Child program. He has a number of diagnoses, such as cerebral palsy, which have impacted his quality of life. This is not helped by his family’s difficult financial situation. Their house has no kitchen or running water, and Mihai lives with his mother, who is his full time carer, along with his older sister and father, who is currently unemployed.
Mihai has been a patient of our hospice partner since February 2021 and currently receives a range of care from the hospice team such as, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and social/psychological counselling (which is provided to him and his family).
