Kathleen's Story

Moments after a traumatic birth, baby Kathleen was separated from her mother, Claire, with suspected brain damage. She was transferred 147 miles away for specialist care. After Claire was able to join her, our specialist team were able to help bring them both home.

Your donations meant we were able to fly Kathleen home to be with her family when she was too weak to travel by road. Read Kathleen’s full story, or donate to us today to help us support more children like hers this Christmas.
