Me&Dee 'Comfort Packs'
This is a new scheme set up by Me&Dee and piloted at Birmingham Children's Hospital for the Teenage Cancer Unit and ward 15, the children's oncology ward. These Comfort packs are an invaluable aid for those whose lives have been turned upside down. Read more or donate online, or contact us to sponsor a pack.
Dozens of Comfort Packs with hundreds of items are being delivered to Birmingham Hospital children's and teenagers oncology wards, Leicester Children's Hospital Intensive Care, The Donna Louise Trust and Rainbows Children's Hospices and are soon to be delivered to Nottingham and Derby Hospitals.
Support Me&Dee are currently receiving up to 20 nominations a month. With 'special moment' treats offered at around £100 each, we need to sustain at least £3,000 a month to cover these. Twenty people donating just £5 to Me&Dee will allow us to create a very special moment when time is very precious indeed, as you can see from just some of our stories.
You can organise your own 'come dine with me (&dee) event. We have a logo and can produce invitations for you. This can be as simple as asking friends round for coffee, organising a coffee morning, charging friends for a meal, organsising a sale of cakes at events to asking local pubs and restaurants to prepare a meal where extra can be charge to make the donation to me&dee. Raffles can be held too. Remember - for me&dee every £10 counts - and we will acknowledge this with a certificate - and tell you exactly where the funds have gone. £10 will cover an essential 'comfort pack' and ten £10's will allow a very special moment experience to happen for when time is precious.
If you are interested in supporting Me&Dee by fundraising or donating, please contact us. You may also follow the link on the website to donate - with your help, we can make a difference.

There are other ways to support me&dee apart from donating to our funds. You may be in a position to offer the means of a special moment treat.
Karen from Proctors at Stoke on Trent arranged for five children to have a ride in their American style truck, and to go to the Monkey Forest at Trentham Gardens with lunch provided and also donated raffle and auction prizes.
Supporters who have won or acquired vouchers for days out and relaxation days, theatre trips etc. have donated them to us to give as treats.
Wayne and Vicky from Burryport donated time at their apartments by the sea to give invaluable and extremely needed holidays for four families this year, and have offered the same next year.
These are treats that money can't buy, as was a dream day offered by Burton Albion. |
