This is 9 year old Aidan and his mum who live in Buckinghamshire. Both he and his family have been getting support from Helen & Douglas House since 2022. As well as stays at the hospice for symptom management, the family also get help at home from our Outreach nurses whose work in Buckinghamshire is funded by the Pepper Foundation.
Rhian and Belle both help mum Zoe to cope with the complexities of Aidan's condition and also advocate for her. They visit her at home and support her in getting the medical supplies and medications to support Aidan 24/7 care.
"They provide a lot of support, obviously to Aidan, but also provide support to me and dad and to keep a happy household, keep Aidan safe and be the best carers we can possibly be"
