Help us be there

We've received so much support from Candlelighters, which wouldn't be available if it wasn't for people fundraising and giving all they can. We are nearly two years in now and we wouldn't have been able to get where we are today if it wasn't for all the financial, emotional and well-being help that we've had from Candlelighters. We really appreciate anything that anybody can give and do for such an amazing charity.
