React

Giving depth to short lives

The needs of children living with life-limiting illnesses are complex and React aims to provide essential support where it is needed most. Help is given in the provision of a wide range of items including specialist medical and domestic equipment.

Time is of the essence for children who are likely to die young. React always deals with requests in a receptive manner and with the absolute minimum of fuss.

Your bequest will help us to achieve our mission:

• To improve the quality of life for children with life-limiting illnesses living in financially disadvantaged families throughout the UK
• To provide families with the specialist help or equipment that will enhance their lives, following recommendations from medical professionals who have identified specific needs
• To respond with practical and sensitive support within days, if not hours. When a child’s life is short, an immediate response is vital.
• To support those families who are unlikely to receive help from any other source in sufficient time
• To provide assistance throughout a child’s lifetime. Most life-limiting illnesses are degenerative and a child’s needs may change constantly
• To eliminate red tape and bureaucracy, allowing aid to be given quickly and as fully as possible, keeping administrative costs to an absolute minimum.

By making a will and including a legacy gift to React you will enable us to give even more children living with life limiting illnesses a better quality of life.
