The Family Fund Mobility Support programme is aimed at families raising a disabled or seriously ill child under three years old with significant mobility needs. Through the programme, we can provide a car-leasing package for a limited period to make transport easier and more practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were delighted to receive this letter from Christopher, dad to Lucas, who has been supported through the programme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Family Fund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible assistance we received through Family Fund in obtaining a disability car for our two-year-old son, Lucas. This remarkable support has made a profound difference in our lives. We are truly thankful for your dedication to helping families like ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Applying for the vehicle through Family Fund Mobility Support<\/a>, thanks to the guidance and support of Family Fund, was an incredibly straightforward and seamless process. Your team provided us with the necessary information and resources, ensuring that we could navigate the application with ease. This made a world of difference in our already complex journey of caring for our disabled son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact of having the car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The impact of the vehicle on our family has been immeasurable. Not only has it enhanced the quality of life for our son, but it has also provided us with a newfound sense of mobility and independence. The vehicle we have has made our daily routines more manageable. It allows us to focus on what truly matters – providing the best care and support for Lucas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the vehicle has relieved the burden of transportation for medical appointments, therapies, and everyday activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“It has given our son a chance to explore the world in a way that was previously impossible.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lucas is now able to go on family days out and trips to football matches at Burnley F.C.. We’ve also been able to go on our first holiday away, among many other things that we’re now able to access. The car has brought joy and comfort to Lucas’ life, and for that we’re eternally grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the practical benefits, this vehicle has also had a profound emotional impact on our family. It has allowed us to create cherished memories and experiences together, and it has brought our family closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The relief from the stress of transportation has brought us peace of mind and a renewed sense of hope for the future.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The ease in which we were able to secure the car lease through Family Fund, and the ongoing support we have received, has been a lifeline for our family. Your organisation has made a significant, positive difference in our lives. We want to convey our deepest appreciation for the incredible work you do and continue to tirelessly do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to families with disabled children. Your assistance has not only provided us with a valuable resource but has also given us the priceless gift of hope and a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With sincere gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
