W/C 31st January 2011
Had a very busy few weeks with treasure boxes to shop for and send. Had some lovely conversations with mum's who have a diagnosed child. They are all so positive and strong and with the right attitude anything is possible.
This week little Camille is back to Addenbrooks hospital for her surgeon to operate once again then Camille will be flown back to America to receive the proton therapy and hopefully that tumour will disappear. Camille is one tough cookie and we wish her all the luck in the world.
We also have some sad news that one of our very brave treasure box children has sadly passed away this week. Little Matt, age 5, sadly lost his battle, but he really is a superstar child and all our thoughts are with his family. Little Matt received his treasure box last year but we sent him a little treat a few days ok and we are so pleased he received it.
These children never ask to become ill and their childhood's are taken away, so if you can help in creating a smile for a very brave child then please get in touch.
A few thank you's to...
Mary Anne and family who amaze us with there kindness when their own hearts have been broken.
