BE BRAVE. BE BOLD. BE GOLD!
‘This is our family. Our son, Joseph, was diagnosed with high-risk Neuroblastoma when he was three. He finished treatment but later relapsed and died age seven, leaving an enormous hole in our hearts. No matter what life threw at him, he always had a cheeky smile and infectious giggle.
We are incredibly grateful to Candlelighters who have supported us all both during Joseph’s treatment and after his death, in many ways, including our daughter’s stop motion animation of one of her favourite memories of Joseph.’
– Sarah, Bereaved Mum.
Please be the spark that keeps our candle burning and give a Regular Gift today, so we can bring light to families in these darkest of times.
