Francis House

 
"There can be no greater heartache
  for a parent than knowing that your
  child is going to die before you.

  Making the most of the precious time
  remaining is so important." 
                                            
                                        - Mohamed Al Fayed  



Opened to provide a home-from-home environment for over 150 families in the North West faced with the stresses of nursing a child with a life-threatening illness, Francis House was faced with a big challenge. With annual costs of £1.4 million, but only 4% guaranteed funding from Health Authorities, 96% of its costs have to be funded by donations. 


Introductions
Mohamed Al Fayed heard about the Hospice in 1999 when the Rainbow Millennium Fund, a campaign to raise public awareness of the hospice, was launched.

He has remained a staunch supporter ever since, not only through financial donations, but in the visits he makes.



What you can do
The fundraising continues. Every penny counts in helping Francis House keep its doors open to those that need it most. To make a donation, please phone the Rainbow Millennium Appeal on +44 (0) 161 928 4706 or write to:
