Josie would collect the other children from school and help with their homework on the days we had to be away for hospital visits. Knowing they were safe and well cared for meant everything to me
There is a lot of extra laundry when you have a sick child. Being able to drop it all the local laundrette is such a huge help, particularly in a typical Irish summer!
Having meals delivered means there is always something waiting for us when we come home from hospital visits. No more worries about having to stop and shop on the way with a sick child in the car.
Hand in Hand were a tremendous support to our family when Davina came home from Temple Street after undergoing a craniotomy to remove a brain tumour. Every family needs practical support which Hand in Hand give . They provided us with Laundry and Cleaning services while Davina recovered at home. We will be forever grateful.
This service is invaluable, childhood cancer does not just affect the diagnosed child, it affects the whole family, close and extended. When life is messy at least your house isn’t and that’s where you need to feel safe. The accumulation of things that never seem to get done build over time to become overwhelming and Hand in Hand help to prevent the stress from escalating out of control.
