Here is a short report from one of our Family Support workers that highlights how important providing transport for our families is.
I am working with a family who have a 14 year old boy undergoing treatment for leukaemia and has his bloods checked at his local hospital. Recently the family got a call to say he urgently needed a transfusion and could he be in Great Ormond Street Hospital at 8 am the next morning.
Mum rang our 24 hour helpline and asked for help as her car had broken down and hospital transport could not be arranged at such short notice. I arranged to pick them up at 6 am the next morning to take them to GOSH and stay with them until the transfusion was done. We finally left for home at 9.30 pm that night.
Without Rainbow Trust’s transport this boys urgent transfusion would have been delayed and put his recovery at risk.
