    If it is terminal then you can contact the Make a Wish Foundation http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/

    Hi Clarrissa,

    Sorry to hear your sad news. Your sister does not have to have a "terminal" diagnosis for the make-a-wish foundation to grant a wish for her. The make a wish foundation grants wishes to children living with life threatening illness so I am sure your sister would fit this criteria.

    I am going to send you a private message.

    good luck
    Kasha

    Sorry to hear your news. Make a wish foundation as before is excellent.

    Contact your local social work office, they may be able to guide you to other charities that offer support in this way through running the details through a computer package called funder finder. It gives a print out of charities criteria, where to get funding application forms and contact details of the trustees

    Hope that helps, Lorna
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:
