Adonis Refuge Community

Adonis Refuge Community ARC CIC is an award-winning community group supporting families grieving the loss of a child. Our mission is to ensure no family grieves alone.

We provide a safe space for healing with therapy, home support, wellness programs, and community engagement. ARC CIC (Adonis Refuge Community) is an award-winning community group dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for families who have experienced the devastating loss of a child. Our mission is to offer support, healing, and connection through a range of services tailored to help grieving parents and siblings navigate their journey of loss. At ARC, we understand that grief is an ongoing process, and no family should have to endure it alone. We provide early intervention therapy, home assistance, group support, community events, and wellness programs to ensure that families receive the emotional, practical, and financial aid they need during this difficult time. Our work is deeply personal, as we self-fund our initiatives to make sure no family is left without support. Despite the challenges, our impact has not gone unnoticed, and we are proud to be recognized as the Community Group of the Year at the prestigious Empowerment Awards. This recognition is not just a title—it is a testament to the strength of the families we support, the dedication of our team, and the generosity of our community. We remain committed to breaking the silence around grief, fostering resilience, and creating lasting change for those who need it most.

Ender was just 7 years old.
He was living with Thalassemia and underwent a gene-editing stem cell treatment at St Mary’s Hospital in London, filled with hope for a healthier future. Prior to this he was having monthly blood transfusions, and was thriving with this line treatment.
As part of the new treatment, Ender received chemotherapy using a drug called Busulfan. The drug was administered over four days — a smaller amount over the first three days, followed by a much larger dose on the final day. Tragically, this led to a rare but serious side effect called veno-occlusive liver disease (VOD), which went on to affect his other organs.
Ender passed away far too soon.
There are no words that can truly capture the depth of loss his family carries. Their grief is profound, lifelong, and unimaginable. Yet through this heartbreak, Ender’s story has led to change — the way this drug is now administered has since been amended, with the hope of protecting other children and families from a similar loss.
In our Understanding Grief series, we remember Ender — not just for how he died, but for who he was, and for the lasting impact his short life has had.
We hold his family in our hearts 🤍 Ender Nihat #
