Our families, our stories
Meet Christopher
Our family support worker, Helen, is always checking in on us, which means so much. One moment that really stayed with me was when Christopher was in intensive care. When Helen found out, she was ready to jump straight in her car and come to the hospital just to give us a hug. I was completely blown away by that level of kindness and support. It showed us that the care given goes far beyond the events and activities - everyone truly cares about the families they support.
Separate to Christopher’s journey, I am also a butterfly mum to our beautiful daughter Daisy, who very sadly passed away in May 2024. Living with that loss is incredibly hard, and it can be difficult to find people who truly understand the depth of that raw emotion.Jade, mum of Christopher
Our families, our stories
Meet Milo
We were referred to SAT in 2021 by our Children’s Community Nurse after our son was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at 5 weeks old. He has an older sister, so knowing there was somewhere that would provide support for the whole family was really important to us.
We can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve provided us with over the last five years; it has been invaluable.Sophie, mum of Milo
