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 matched funding runs out to make the biggest impact.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
