Oscar's Children's Hospital Christmas Drive
Our lives changed this year forever when Oscar was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It changes your perspective on life completely, for both the better and the worse. One of the things that stood out to us when he was diagnosed in hospital is the care that all the staff give to try and make the experience fun for a child, even when they're facing something devastating. Oscar was given a huge toy when he had the first CT scan that would find the tumour growing on his brain stem, he was given another in bed after his operation, and stickers and toys to play with while we tried to hold ourselves together. We can’t stress the importance of a little moment of fun and simple happiness when times are terrible. There will be many families who will spend this Christmas in hospital while we're lucky enough to be at home. And we know how that feels, so we wanted to help make it a tiny bit easier for them.
We are doing a Present Drive on social media for for those who would prefer to make a donation, all donations made here will automatically split evenly between Laura Lynn, Crumlin and Temple St.
