Special Update: June Events and Donations
We are thrilled to update all our supporters and sponsors on the amazing events that have taken place this month!
Charity Football Match ⚽🏅
Every year, a charity football match takes place in Redditch where local Sunderland lads play a friendly match. This year, they managed to raise an incredible £596.00! An amazing £300.00 of this came from Eddison Reed-Brown, Louie's Godfather. Here’s what Eddie had to say:
"I’ve been playing in an annual charity game now for 3 years and when giving the opportunity to nominate a charity it was an easy and honourable decision to pick one so close to my heart. The fact I raised £300 for Louie’s trust is absolutely amazing and to seal it off with another win in the game made even better. Louis was definitely watching over us that day and I’d like to dedicate the goal I scored to him. I hope this money raised helped the charity support those in need as much as possible."
The event was even more successful as the lads brought home the win for the third year in a row! 🏆
Fullwell Methodist Church Cake Sale 🍰
The Fullwell Methodist Church Cake Sale raised £320 by selling cakes, biscuits, and other home-baked goods. The proceeds were split between the local church community and Louie's Trust. Louie’s grandparents have recently become members of the community, and we look forward to working with the church organisers in the future.
Thank you to everyone who baked, bought, and enjoyed the delicious treats!
Donations and Support 🤝
With the donations made this month, we have been able to donate a much-needed tumble dryer to Ward 2A of the Great North Children’s Hospital. This request came from the ward staff, who have been without a way for parents to dry children's clothes on the ward for some time now.
Additionally, we received a request from Sunderland Royal Hospital this week for some play food, dollhouse furniture, and baby dolls to update their playroom, which is used by many children daily. We are delighted to fulfil this request and make the playroom a happier place for the kids. 🧸
Thank you all for your continuous support and generosity! Together, we make a significant difference in our community. 💙

回馈故事:路易信托基金会的影响力之旅
2023 年的最后几个月,我和我的合作伙伴踏上了创建路易信托基金的旅程,灵感来自我们的儿子路易 (Louie) 前往大北方儿童医院 (Great North Children's Hospital) 时所经历的令人难以置信的旅程。在医院的最初几天就像旋风一样,我们很快意识到需要照顾路易、维持家庭生活以及以某种方式管理工作承诺是多么困难。我们发现,对于像我们这样的父母来说,他们的可用支持存在明显差距——那些努力应对在医院生孩子的独特挑战的父母。决心做出积极的改变,我们决定将经验转化为行动。
当我们在互联网上寻找针对类似情况的父母的经济支持时,我们对资源的缺乏感到惊讶。这一启示成为点燃路易斯信托的火花。带着一丝乐观和坚定的决心,我们着手创建一个组织,为家长提供一个可以寻求所需帮助的地方。
我们从一开始就有一个明确的愿景——不仅提供财务和实际支持,而且为其他慈善机构整合一个全面的支持目录,所有这些都集中在一个易于访问的地方。当我们深入研究这一使命时,我们开始根据自己的经验制定路线图。
回顾这些挑战,路易还在医院时就庆祝了他的一岁生日。回想起那天的情绪,我们思考什么可以让这一天对我们来说更加特别。这就是我们制作温馨生日包的方式——为庆祝医院里程碑的家庭带来欢乐。
在那些意料之外的医院就诊期间,通常是由急症室或全科医生的转介引发的,家长自我护理包的想法自然而然地萌芽。很多时候,我们发现自己到达时除了路易的尿布袋之外什么都没有。正是在这些时刻,我们认识到一些基本的盥洗用品和必需品可能对我们自己的福祉产生深远的影响。
2023 年 10 月,我们推出了网站,揭示了我们改变家庭生活的使命。我们收到的大量支持确实令人惊叹!在短短几天内,我们的社区团结在一起,为我们的事业捐款超过 1,000 英镑——这是一个完全出乎意料且温馨的惊喜。社区的热烈反响促使我们采取行动!有了我们收到的慷慨资金,我们没有浪费任何时间。我们一心一意地为准备迎接圣诞节的家庭传播节日的欢乐。从挑选玩具到收集必需品,我们的使命很明确:为孩子们及其兄弟姐妹制作神奇的平安夜盒子并精心挑选礼物。
当我们集思广益如何扩大我们的影响力时,我们设想了一场不仅能筹集资金还能提高认识的活动。结果?我们精彩的游戏之夜在圣诞节和新年之间举行,将乐趣与目的融为一体。让人们聚集在一起度过一个难忘的夜晚,我们不仅培养了社区意识,还成功筹集了资金。
反响超出了我们的预期,在游戏之夜期间售出了 40 多张门票,并筹集了 410.41 英镑的善款。这一令人难以置信的成就不仅超出了我们最初的筹款目标,还使我们 2023 年的捐款总额达到了惊人的 4,192.00 英镑!这个成功故事证明了我们的社区、家人和朋友的无限慷慨。他们对我们愿景的信任和坚定不移的支持是我们取得成就的动力。我们永远感谢迄今为止为我们的旅程提供动力的善意和信念。
当我们放眼未来并梦想我们旨在创造的影响时,我们正准备用一系列活动和筹款活动填满我们的日历。这些不仅使我们的事业保持活力,而且在传播人们对我们所做的有意义的工作的认识方面发挥着至关重要的作用。我们始终欢迎新面孔和新想法加入我们的团队。无论您是热衷于慈善活动的概念、有创意的捐赠建议,还是只是想卷起袖子帮助包装我们精美的商品,我们都非常欢迎您的参与!
