“Memories are Better than Dreams ……………………” – based in Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock.<\/p>\n
Lara loved Onthank Primary and all her friends she made here. \u00a0She loved to smile, laugh, dance and help people.\u00a0 She had so many lovely, happy memories of school and we are so thankful for this and all the support we have had from her friends and staff at the school.\u00a0\u00a0 Lara, her Dad and I found so much comfort and support from this very special local charity and it would be lovely if we could continue to support them.\u00a0 It’s the little things that make such a difference and always to remember the happiness in the saddest of times ……….<\/p>\n
Memories are Better than Dreams aims to help families make special memories with their children towards the end of their life and following their death.<\/p>\n
Having a child with a long term condition is very stressful for families and places considerable financial strain on them with parents often having to give up work to care for their child.\u00a0 This can make it very difficult for the family to provide the opportunities to make lasting memories of their child.<\/p>\n
They provide memory making activities, headstones for the child, special memory boxes, remembrance items such as necklaces of handprints but the help they give is individual to each family and tailored to fulfil their wishes.<\/p>\n
