Have you ever helped a hospice?

Hi we’re Katie Ellie and Charlotte; first of all, we would like to thank you for showing particular interest in our blog! We all feel strongly about the heart-breaking traumas young people have to face if they find out they do not have very long to live. This is where Children’s Hospice South West comes in; it supports the children and family through the difficult stages, aiming to make their lives easier. When you have read our blog, we hope that you will be willing to support them and their cause. Since it’s founding in1991, by Eddie and Jill Farwell, it has grown, now with three houses, it doesn’t give up on the children and gives them a new look on life, to get the most out of every day.

Here is the story about the Daisy Chain Fund, which is raising money to aid the work undertaken by Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). Sophie and Chris Warn set up the Daisy Chain in 2009 when they lost their little daughter, Daisy, to a rare genetic disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Daisy Elizabeth Warn died, aged just 16 weeks, in November 2009. Chsw offered Chris, Sophie and Daisy lots of love and support during Daisy’s happy but short life. Daisy is in the picture below.

Again, thank you for reading our blog, please now post us a response with your thoughts. Specifically, it would be great if you could write a couple of words in reply to the following questions, and tell your friends about the blog. More detail can be found at http://www.chsw.org.uk, please contribute to the thousands of people already giving children the life they deserve! If you do post, please could you tell us where you come from- your town and country.
