Your steps mean we can help more families like Robena’s

Robena’s husband Zahir, who had terminal cancer, was cared for at the Marie Curie Hospice, Bradford.

She says: "When he moved into the hospice it was so much better than I expected. Zahir had his own room where visitors could stay overnight. There was a prayer room, conservatory, a multi-faith church and canteen. The staff listened to me and talked to me about how I was coping. I didn’t expect to make so many friends and to experience such a loving environment."

She finds comfort in fundraising for Marie Curie during the Great Daffodil Appeal as she is able to help more families just like hers.

Marie Curie Nurses have also been providing vital, hands-on care for people living with a terminal illness, both in the comfort of their homes and in our nine hospices across the UK.
