Help Sue Ryder support elderly and sick people in need

Hello and welcome to my blog on the Sue Ryder charity. I would like to start by saying thank you for visiting and reading my blog. The aim of this blog is to raise awareness about the sick and elderly people suffering their illnesses alone without family, friends or support. So, why support Sue Ryder? Supporting Sue Ryder means understanding the basic social needs of sick and elderly people who are fighting illnesses and diseases alone. Sue Ryder relies heavily on volunteers and donations through their several charity shops around the UK. I am aware that the attitude towards the elderly throughout the UK is unsympathetic and often careless. I am therefore attempting to change the views on loneliness and people’s behaviour towards sick and elderly people, particularly those without any support or motivation to continue fighting.

• You may be wondering how helping the elderly and sick would affect or benefit you – you may not be terminally ill yourself – but I would like to inform you on how supporting this charity can benefit you in the future. We all know someone who will develop an incurable illness at some point, and all of us will eventually grow old and elderly, so don’t wait until it’s too late before supporting the Sue Ryder charity.
• Jane was born with a hole in her heart, and although she lived longer than doctors expected, in her early 60s her health began to weaken.
• She had been in hospital for several weeks when the staff told her daughter, Vicki, that there was nothing more that could be done for her mum, and referred her to their local Sue Ryder hospice. Vicki dreaded telling her mum – they’d always thought of the hospice as a sad and gloomy place – but Jane just wanted to be somewhere she could receive the medical care and support she wanted.
• The Sue Ryder hospice gave Jane more than just specialist medical treatment; they gave her peace of mind.
• “Gone were the tubes and machines she’d been attached to in hospital. Instead, she sat looking as relaxed and pretty as ever in her nightgown with her own duvet, just as if she was at home. Mum was no longer a dying patient: she was back to being my Mum.”

It would be really helpful if you could leave a comment giving some general feedback, and it would really help me if you could also mention your hometown and country (if not in the UK).
Thanks again,
