In 2008, Adam and Kate’s daughter, Iris, became ill at seven months old with a rare tumour on her liver. Family Support Workers Mary and Mandy supported the family throughout. Adam and Kate recall the support they received.
"Mary was always there to pick us up, drive us to the hospital in London and take us home again at the end of a very long day. I really don’t know how we would have coped without this.
We could trust Mary and Mandy with all our fears and concerns. When we were not at hospital, Mary and Mandy would come and visit us at home. They spent the time playing with Iris, which gave us time to ourselves. That time was precious. It gave us the breathing space to regain a sense of normality, before the next round of treatment began.
