Peter was two years old when he was diagnosed with leukaemia. He was admitted to hospital in Oxford for treatment. Flora, his mum, stayed with him and her husband took his twin brother, Thomas, home to Reading.
The family was quickly referred to Rainbow Trust and introduced to Family Support Worker, Jess. She takes Flora and the boys to hospital appointments, plays with Thomas while Peter is in treatment, and when they are both home, she plays with them together.
Peter is very clingy to his mum, which means that Flora struggles to do anything without them, so having Jess as a playmate helps her immensely. She can take a shower or do some chores, which gives her some semblance of a normal life.
“It is heart-warming to know that there are people who dedicate their time to others. Our Family Support Worker, Jess, has been an angel.”
