Welcome to 'me&dee', the registered charity established to offer and create special | ||
My name is Maria Hanson and I created me&dee as a registered charity in 2006. As a disabled woman, I know only too well how treats can become the bottom of a priority list. My very close cousin Delia and I often spoke about this, and how we would like to set up our own charity, providing treats and special moments where time is precious, conscious of the impact that a treat created for just £100 can have, with personal attention to create special memories. Sadly, Delia lost her battle with cancer in 2005 before we could achieve our dreams together. I carry her and our dream in my heart, and five years on, me&dee is creating over 100 special moments a year, and in addition is supporting oncology wards in hospitals and in hospices with nominations, and our ‘comfort pack scheme’. (read about the comfort packs here...) You can also find out more about our own cd single ‘head high and smile’ performed by x factor finalist Daniel de Bourg. We shall be drawing up a register of volunteers, who will be known as ‘me&dee angels’ please see our news page for more information

"you can shed tears that they are gone, or you can smile because they lived, you can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.
