Celebrating the good stuff…
A client had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was going through radiotherapy treatment when she contacted Joining the Dots for support.
Joining the Dots Facilitator Sonia Reay, supported her with her finances initially, with a referral to Macmillan Welfare Rights. However, as treatment progressed she found out that the cancer had spread and unfortunately there were no further treatment options. Her priorities had changed and she needed Sonia to help her.
Sonia supported her client to organise her Will, Armed Forces Pension, Blue Badge application, help to access Home Improvement Grants and also arranged for support with her mobility around the house.
The client’s family arranged a Civil Partnership Ceremony for her and her partner. The couple had 24 hours’ notice and were going to have the ceremony at home.
Through our Joining the Dots Making Memories Fund, Sonia was able to arrange two bespoke bouquets and button holes from a local florist, which she delivered to their home an hour before the very happy occasion.
‘Thank you, we didn’t think about flowers and they really made the day feel special’.
