Navigating Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma | Meet Our Beneficiaries
In the first quarter of 22/23, we've already awarded over £110,000 in grants to over 100 beneficiaries.
Meet two of our recent grant recipients below…
A postie and his daughter
A postie’s 10-year-old daughter has a number of health conditions, including Down's syndrome, juvenile arthritis, a diaphragmatic hernia and scoliosis. She is fed by tube.
The daughter is one of five children. Using a limited-access wheelchair meant she often missed out on family activities.
When the family reached out to the Fund, we awarded a grant towards an all-terrain specialist pushchair. This allows her to enjoy events and activities with her family.
Richard in Parcelforce
Richard was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma B Cell Stage 4 Cancer in May 2021. He underwent chemotherapy from August until February this year.
During his absence from work, Richard moved to half pay and his wife’s income reduced as she took time off to care for him. Richard also cashed in his pension early to pay off their mortgage, as he was uncertain of his future.
The Fund awarded a financial grant to cover gas, water and council tax bills. Richard is now back at work and recovering well.
