Winnie Griffiths

Winnie's story

Our Tŷ Hafan experience was out of this world. We left the hospice after Winnie’s death feeling lighter, but like our lives had turned backwards and we couldn’t suss out the path ahead. But whatever our path is now, we have been, and we still are so supported by Tŷ Hafan on this path.

Violet's story

Tŷ Hafan were there for us when Violet was dying, they were there for us when she died and they have been there for us since then. It’s what every parent needs when they lose their child and my heart breaks to know that not every family has that.

How you can help

You can help to make sure that no family faces their child’s short life alone. Take a look at what’s going on or talk to us about your own fundraising ideas.

More ways to support us

Donate

Right now, we can only reach 1 in 10 of the families that need us. That means 90% of families in Wales who live with the unimaginable reality that their child’s life will be short are living without the support they need. Please donate to help every family in Wales whose child’s life will be short.
