"Maggie's is my home from home"
Your kindness today will help families like Cat's get the expert care and support they need at the hardest time in their lives.
Donate“How many more school plays will I get to see?”
When Cat was diagnosed with breast cancer, her daughter Rosa was only 4, and Alex was just 1.
“At Rosa's nativity that year, I remember looking at all these angelic children, tears streaming down my face, wondering how many more school plays I would get to see.”
Cat needed somewhere for her family to make sense of what was happening. Maggie's was there for them.
Your donation will help us give comfort and expert support to more families facing cancer this Christmas.
“Maggie’s transforms the way you experience cancer
One of the biggest worries for my husband Dayo and I was what to say to the kids. But in every tough moment like this, we always knew we had somewhere to turn.
The reassurance and confidence I got from speaking to centre head Annie and everyone at Maggie's made everything more positive and bearable.
For Dayo, Maggie's was a safe space to open up and get support, so he could be there for me and our girls when we needed him the most.”
