What your support means – Sarah’s Story

By playing the Local Hospice Lottery  for just £1 per week, you can help to ensure that local hospices such as Dorothy House are able to keep caring for people like Sarah and her mum.

 

“Mum and I were always very close and I was stunned when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. But then I visited her at Dorothy House in Winsley – I thought hospices were for one reason – you go there to die, and I expected it to be sterile and like a hospital. That was far from the truth – it was amazingly beautiful and the staff treated Mum with great dignity, kindness and love.

“They always had time to talk, listen, or just to give you a hug when you needed it. Mum loved it and said it was where she wanted to go at the end.

“Now, I know that death is normal and being scared is the most normal thing in the world, but with the support of Dorothy House, your perceptions can change. Dorothy House is amazing, but it’s also essential. Everyone should have access to this level of support which is why I’d encourage as many people as possible to join the Local Hospice Lottery.”
