You can directly support a family in need by taking on one of our fundraising ideas or by making a direct donation to one of our families. Whatever you decide, your contribution will be immensely helpful. To find out more go to our live appeals page.

Our financial grants are given directly to families who are supporting a child battling with Neuroblastoma, the childhood cancer. When a child is diagnosed, life can be turned upside down. Many parents stop working to be with their child and a grant can help families with travel costs (to and from hospital) utility bills, loss of income from employment and hospital food costs.

We know these monetary gifts have extra meaning and we’re always grateful to receive them. You can donate to Mitchells Miracles directly or download and complete our gift in memory form.

BACKPACK APPEAL

When a child receives antibodies, they need to be hooked up to a pump and stay in hospital for up to a week. However, by having a small backpack, the pump (baby bottle sized) can fit inside allowing a child to have more freedom as opposed to pushing around a big stand. Having a backpack also means that a child can go home whilst the antibody is still being infused.

The cost of one bag for a child is £7.94 including P&P. Get in touch if you can help.

As a local children’s charity based in Romford, London, it is our aim to raise awareness amongst the local and UK population about the early signs and symptoms of childhood cancer Neuroblastoma. Thank you for supporting Mitchells Miracles!
