“You gave us a gift we thought unimaginable – a family day out”

Roger Axe, who is receiving care from FNH@Home Team, fulfilled his wish of taking his two-year-old granddaughter Lily to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital. Roger and his wife Terry had cared for Lily and promised to take her there, but his health worsened before they could visit.

Chaplain Pete, after hearing Roger’s disappointment, worked with the FNH@Home team and Tiggywinkles to make the trip possible. Supported by Heather from the Day Hospice Team, Roger, Terry, their daughters Helen and Rachel, and Lily enjoyed a special day together.

Chaplain Pete shared how meaningful the experience was, with the family expressing their deep gratitude. Tiggywinkles staff, including vet Jaz, provided a guided tour, making it a truly memorable occasion.

FNH@Home is fully funded by Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, supporting patients in their final weeks at home.
