Here at the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust we are very aware of how the current situation is affecting the whole community and our thoughts are with everyone right now.
The charity is being contacted by a number of families that are affected by childhood cancer in the local area (Worcestershire).
They are in strict isolation for a minimum of 12 weeks but it is likely to be much longer because their children effectively have little or no immunity.
They cannot get essential cleaning products which are vital due to the likelihood of infection, food staples like bread, eggs, milk, toilet paper which their children are dependent on.
Dr Jennifer Kelly, Director and Founder of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust said:
“This really is an unsettling and worrying time for everyone. Our local oncology families desperately need essential items and as they are under strict isolation there is no way of them getting these unless we can step in to support them. If any local retailer can help us in putting some rescue packs together then we would be really gratetful.
We are all in this together so this really is a time for us all to join together and support each other as much as we possibly can”
If anyone in the local area can support us in putting together some rescue packs or let us know where the charity can go to purchase these items then please do get in touch by emailing us contact@gkcct.org
