As we rapidly race towards Christmas, I think everyone feels that their time is pressured.
For families living with a life threatened or terminally ill child, time is everything. Not just for hospital tests, treatment and care, but for all the things that modern medicine can’t do.
Time for talking, for listening, for coping. That’s why Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity has launched a new campaign, It’s About Time. In the last decade, the number of families being referred to Rainbow Trust needing our support has doubled. There are now more families than ever struggling to cope when their child is seriously ill.
Please can I appeal to your readers to support our campaign and help these families by visiting rainbowtrust.org.uk to find out more and, if you can, make a donation.
We receive no central government funding so we really do rely on every pound we receive from the generous public.
