"Sofia, after being asked to build a list of wishes by Suzi and her team, immediately talked of how keen she was to see ‘Frozen the musical’ in London. She has always been such a fan of the Disney version; enjoying the fantastic soundtrack and the loveable characters and without hesitation, TMD felt that our Sofia was ‘worth melting for’ and immediately got to it organising a very special day out.
We were blown away to be told that not only had the tickets been booked in the stalls (amazing seats!), but that we would be chauffeured to the theatre and back in our very own limousine. The driver - Jason from Kent Limos - collected us and made us feel like royalty. We had such fun blaring tunes out on the way to London, having a dance and enjoying every second as a family.
The fantastic day didn’t end as the curtain came down though and we finished the day by sharing a delicious meal in China Town! It was a new experience for Sofia and her cousins, they were totally blown away by all the sights, smells and sounds.
We all had such a magical day, but I know that this meant the world to Sofia. I think for a minute (or two) we were all able to forget that the last six months had happened, and it was like old times again. We enjoyed the show, the meal, the limousine and most of all each other's company. We really have made some memories that will last a lifetime and we’ll never forget such a special day."
“In our lives – before, during and after our beautiful 12-year-old Josh’s illness and passing, Taylor-Made Dreams have given our whole family smiles, laughter and love – a haven from tears, pain and desperate sadness, enough to carry enduring positive memories for the rest of our lives.
It sounds simple, to give support and create lifelong memories for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families, and the best ideas are normally that simple - but to do it with such diligence and understanding – Taylor-Made Dreams is not just a charity – it is a way of looking at the world, a way of finding positivity when everything feels so negative – and you helped our family do that at exactly the right time and continue to do so for so many families in the South East.
Thank you, Taylor-Made Dreams and your fantastic team, your impact on our family is more than words can convey.”
"Thank you for everything that you did for Rosie and Charlotte and indeed for us as a family. We were introduced to you at a dark time, when we had just found out that Rosie was going to die. The bucket list was such a fantastic idea. I had previously been paralysed by the concept of one big wish as so many other charities offer. Rosie was never well enough to have one big dream and in fact her world was becoming increasingly smaller; the cancer grew, and her pain increased. You allowed us to spend some quality time together and inspired Steve and I to join in with making the bucket list items a reality.
At a time when we felt we had no control over anything and our world was getting increasingly darker you helped to empower us to discuss with the girls all the things that they would love to do, from the tiniest to the largest. Sadly, we couldn't realise them all before Rosie died and her health deteriorated so rapidly but we were able to have some fun times as a family and build some precious memories.
The Alice in wonderland tea party was amazing, we were blown away. Rosie was as I anticipated a little overwhelmed with some of it, but she was so excited about it and having a reason to get dressed in her onesie to go as the white rabbit. It gave us all a focus. It was completely magical and as it went on Rosie relaxed and one of my favourite memories was Rosie painting the roses red. She loved it. Charlotte also had a wonderful time which was also so precious at a time in which her visits to the hospital felt increasingly bleak."
