More families than ever are in severe financial distress

At Redkite, we have been seeing a worrying increase in the number of families in financial distress, as the challenges of childhood cancer are worsened by the cost-of-living crisis.

Our Senior Social Worker, Sam, has witnessed heartbreaking situations in the last 6 months:

  • Parents skipping meals to ensure their children are fed.
  • Parents selling their cars to pay bills, leaving them dependent on public transport to visit their sick child in hospital.
  • Families going into debt just to keep their recovering child warm during winter.
  • Siblings missing out on essentials such as school supplies and toiletries

Sam also shared a story about a parent who had to sleep in their car with their young children because they couldn't afford a place to stay near the hospital where their sick child was being treated. Your donation can prevent this from happening to another family.

Please make a donation before 20 October to ensure your gift is doubled and makes the biggest possible impact.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
