Give every month so we can be here every day
Be a Friend for Life and support the work of St Clare Hospice by donating a regular gift each month. By donating monthly, you will help us continue to offer our round-the-clock care to people in your local community. Your gift will also help us make plans for the future and continue to grow and reach even more people that desperately need our help.
By donating a regular gift of as little as £6 a month, you can help us care for families like Deb’s.
Deb’s story
Deb’s sister Susan wanted to share their story to show you the difference St Clare Hospice’s care makes to local families.
“Deb was not only mine and our other sibling Karen’s big sister, she was our best friend. When she was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, we were all devastated.
“She had spent eight anxious weeks in hospital when her son and his young family travelled over from the Isles of Scilly to spend time with her, but there was no family room and the children weren’t allowed on the ward. So I had to put Deb in a wheelchair and push her out into a cold, dark staircase so she could see them. After five minutes she had to go back to bed. It was just awful.”
“The next morning we got the phone call to say she could come to St Clare Hospice. It was the best news we could hope to hear. There was such relief that Deb was coming to a safe, loving and peaceful place. All the weeks of worry and anxiety she had experienced in hospital all melted away the day she came into the Hospice.”
