How will the donations be used?
If everyone who visits this website gave just a few pennies, together we can make a difference, because these Marie Curie angels make a huge difference .... I know from experience! They helped my husband and I in his final days.
Please go to https://www.justgiving.com/music4charity and give whatever you can, and help to make someone so much more comfortable in the time they have left, and provide support for their loved ones who are so easily forgotten.
Kind words, a hug and offer of a cuppa from a Marie Curie Nurse means so much at such a distressing time.
Thank you
