My goddaughter, a bright and spirited 14-year-old girl, is battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Recently, she received a specialised bed to provide her with some comfort during this incredibly difficult time. However, there's a significant obstacle: her current home cannot accommodate this essential piece of furniture.

This situation has put unnecessary stress on her and her family, who are already going through unimaginable struggles. While Herefordshire Council promised to provide the necessary adaptations to the home to make things easier , those essential changes have yet to be made. It has been a lengthy wait, and each day that passes without these adaptations being completed adds additional strain to an already heartbreaking situation.

Adapting her home is not just about making space for a bed; it's about giving her the dignity and comfort she deserves in her final days. It’s about allowing her to cherish precious moments with her family in a space that meets her needs. It’s about letting her and her family focus on love and support, rather than logistical challenges.

We are calling on Herefordshire Council to act swiftly and fulfil their promises to make the necessary adjustments to her home. This is not just a matter of physical comfort, but a profound issue of compassion and humanity. They have the power to alleviate some of the pressure on this family and to do the right thing. It is essential for those in power to recognise the urgency of this situation and to take immediate action. The council must visit her home without further delay and commence the necessary work to ensure her comfort during these difficult times.

Please join me in urging Herefordshire Council to prioritize this matter and take immediate action. Your signature on this petition can make a difference in the quality of life for a young girl who deserves every bit of comfort and care. Sign now and help us hold the council accountable for their promises.
