A grant towards the costs of travelling to the children’s hospital

Riley was born with a collapsed windpipe. When he was a baby, he would turn blue and his mum and dad, Amy and Luke, would rush him into hospital. When they finally got an answer, this began a nine month hospital stay for Riley.

“Nine months in hospital with him and three of which in intensive care was a really difficult time. With Luke travelling back and forth to see him on the bus every day, and not being able to work, we struggled financially.”

“Having a child in hospital is so expensive. But money was the last thing we wanted to worry about with our son in hospital.”

“Family Fund gave us a grant towards the costs of travelling to the children’s hospital. We also used this to purchase a ball pit and water play for Riley in hospital, so he could learn to play like other babies his age.

“I will never allow Riley to miss out. Family Fund has helped me ensure that he didn’t miss out. It has been life-changing”.
