Debajo publicamos dos casos en donde el dinero recaudado, servirá para paliar un poco estas dos tristes historias.
El texto íntegramente y en Inglés.
Liz Page and family from Hull
Liz’s daughter Mandy was a young woman of 33 who was diagnosed
with a life limiting illness in 2010 and died the following year. Mandy had 7
children between the ages of 2 and 17, and when she became unwell she moved in
with Liz to get support and care. Mandy wanted Liz to continue to look after
the children after she died, and Liz is seeking a special guardianship order.
In May the family moved to a larger property and they are
trying to settle and look forward to the future. There is a great amount of
stress and Liz is trying to cope emotionally and practically. Their support
worker felt a break away together as a family would provide some quality time to
bond and to have happy memories for the children’s futures. She felt it
would go some way to alleviating some of the stresses and difficulties coping
with their loss.
The Family Holiday Association was able to help the Page family
with a break away in a holiday park in Lincolnshire
this summer.
As the family above have not yet gone away
on their break, I thought you may also like a story from another family who
have already taken their break as they have some lovely feedback:
Caitlin Jones and family from Gloucestershire
Caitlin Jones and her children had previously experienced
domestic abuse and been through a very harrowing few years when they were
referred to the Family Holiday Association for a break; as a result both she
and her eldest son were struggling with depression and Caitlin was trying to
cope with a variety of other health concerns.
The Family Holiday Association was able to help Caitlin and
her children with a week away in Devon .
On their return from their break
Caitlin wrote to us, “The holiday made me see there's more to life than
the life I was living. It brought my sons and I closer together. Thank you.”
I hope the above is useful – please let
me know if you need anything else.
Kind regards,
Michelle
N.B. The stories and feedback are
completely true but we have changed the names of the families in the stories to
protect their identities.
