During our time in transplant, Candlelighters offered us amazing support, and still continue to do so. Without them, our time in transplant would have been a thousand times more difficult than it was. They provided accommodation for us, talking therapy, play therapy, came and visited us on the ward every single day, played games with Aadie, looked after her when we needed to go and scream, stood and listened to our ranting when we needed a vent. They have been amazing from the start and their continued support means so much to us.

We would like to give back just a little of the amazing support they have given us, so that they can continue to support families in such a great way!

To contribute towards this, Babs is going to be cutting her hair. This will be her first ever hair cut and we will be cutting 12inch off her hair and donating it to go towards wigs for children, and any money she raises in this process will be donated to candlelighters for all they have done for us.
