Emilia's story

Emilia's story
When Emilia was receiving end-of-life care for terminal cancer, she spent much of her time at home. As the weather improved, she wanted to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. A £200 Helping Hand grant helped her family create a comfortable place in the garden for her to enjoy.
