Imwidu We Support & Grant Dreams to children who are living with a terminal illness,and neurological condition At IMWIDU, a holistic approach is taken to help and support such children and their families in four core aspects: Practical support, Emotional support, Informational support and Spiritual support. It is undeniable that their conditions have affected them emotionally, mentally, socially and academically.
Terminal illness or end-stage disease is a disease that cannot be cured or adequately treated and is reasonably expected to result in the death of the patient.
A neurological condition is one that affects someone’s brain or nervous system. They can affect movement, communication, behaviour and mental health. Anyone can get a neurological condition at any time. Some, like cerebral palsy, are present from birth. Others, such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and Parkinson's disease, can develop at any stage in life. Some can be caused by injury, like a head injury or stroke, or illness, for example tumours of the brain and spine. Many neurological conditions are life-changing because they cause long-term disability and can severely affect people’s ability to live independently. Some conditions improve over time with the right care and rehabilitation, and others may get worse until the person dies.
Terminally-ill young patients require frequent visits to hospitals for treatment, complicated therapy and long-term medication. Our dedicated volunteers provide practical support to the ill child and their family, through diagnosis, treatment and beyond bereavement, ensuring they have someone to rely on at all times, for as long as it is necessary. Support is hugely varied and depends on the needs of the family
