🎄 The 12 Days of Christmas: Day 1 🎄

As we count down to Christmas, we're dedicating this time to sharing hospice stories with you, from patient families and members of our hospice staff, all in support of our Last Christmas Appeal.

For our first day, we're honoured to share Ophelia's story. Her beloved husband, Terrence, spent his last Christmas at St. Michael's Hospice last year. She bravely shared a special memory with us about Terrence and her family's pizza and movie night tradition.

For many patients, this Christmas may be their last. Your support ensures that our dedicated team can continue to provide essential care, dignity, and comfort 24 hours a day, helping families like Ophelia and Terrence create unforgettable moments.

We rely on your generosity to raise £14,500 every single day to keep our vital services running for those who need it, free of charge.

Will you support our Last Christmas Appeal today? Find out how you can help us give the gift of care this Christmas: https://www.stmichaelshospice.org.uk/last-christmas-appeal/

Thank You to our Day 1 Sponsor! A huge thank you to Finli Advice for sponsoring our first day and helping us share Ophelia's powerful story. Your support helps to make moments that matter possible.
