Richard’s Wish, wishing away Cancer

My name is Rebecca and thank you for taking your time to read my blog. Richards wish is a local Dawlish based charity which aims to help cancer sufferers and their families. Sometimes they aim to make their life easier; other times just aim to bring families closer and hopefully ease off coming pain. By the end of my blog I hope for you to know more about Richard’s Wish, more about what they do and hopefully make you willing to support them.

One person whose life was made better is a young girl (I will withhold her name for privacy), aged 4 has cancer on her optic nerve, leaving her blind in one eye and very poorly sighted in the other.

Her family’s TV had a small screen, so small that she could not watch it or her favourite programs, so her mother asked Richard’s Wish if they could buy her a larger screened television so that the girl could watch TV.

Richard’s Wish bought her a large flat screened TV so now the girl can watch her favourite programs all she likes.

Thank you for reading my blog and now it would be really helpful if you could please help me again by posting a comment about my blog by answering the following questions;

Had you heard about Richard’s Wish before reading my blog?

Do you now feel more informed about what they do?

Would you now be willing to support Richard’s Wish/make a donation?

Would you be willing to host/be part of a fundraiser?

Finally please could you state where you come from/live (home town and country)

Thank you again for reading my blog Rebecca
