Help us bring the magic of Christmas
to sick children like Harry
Harry was born with a serious heart condition and has spent long stretches of his life in hospital.
There have been endless procedures, frightening setbacks and times when his parents wondered if they would ever get him home again.
Harry’s mum, Leanne, says “I’ll never forget my son Harry’s first Christmas. Instead of being at home with his four big brothers and sisters, our tiny baby boy, just a couple of months old, was in hospital, fighting for his life. Machines beeped around him and wires covered his delicate little body. My husband, Keith, and I were terrified of what the future might hold. Nothing prepares you for an experience like that – for the sheer level of worry it places in your heart as a parent.”
Harry is nine now. He is funny, sensitive, and overflowing with imagination.
Your support helps provide world-class medical care, but also the “extras” – play, music, and family supports – that make the hardest days a little easier.
These are the things that remind children they are still children and remind parents that they are not alone.
When Harry was scared, play made him brave. When Leanne was exhausted, a kind word from staff kept her going. When Christmas felt like another mountain to climb, supporters like you made sure it still felt magical. That is the impact you have.
So please, if you can, donate today to save a smile.
Do it for Harry, and for all the children spending this Christmas in hospital. Do it for the parents who will be standing by their bedsides, badly needing the hope your kindness can bring.
With your help today, you could save a smile for families facing long, dark days and nights in hospital – not just at Christmas time but all year round.
