How we can help you
The foundation will help to support families who have a child in long term hospital care.
There are 3 ways that we can help:
Facebook group
The first is to offer support through a Facebook group, it can feel incredibly lonely when you're plunged into a situation. Everybody in the group.
Freeman Hospital
The Freeman hospital hold funds to help you with a small cash grant when you find yourself in hospital with your child in an emergency situation. We can help you buy the essentials, should you arrive unexpectedly.
Apply for a grant
You can apply for a grant directly from us to help with the non prescription expenses you might have when your child is in long term hospital care.

Having such access to the Olivia Mae foundations funds for families, often in crisis, or at very short notice is just such a massive help. We do not have access to funds like this via any other means, we use family fund with most families we work with, but this is an application process which takes several days, so having access to Olivia Mae has been invaluable.

I also want to say thank you for supporting my family while we are going through a horrendous time. My 6 month old baby girl Ada is in Freeman hospital on ward 23 waiting on a heart transplant. We live in Glasgow but have had to split our family in two as my husband had to go back to work and also look after my older girl Lucy who is 2. I stay with Ada in Newcastle during the week and my husband and Lucy visit at the weekend. The money you have given us has helped with travelling costs and we are very grateful as this keeps us together as a family.
When we are back on our feet we will definitely give back to all the charities who have helped us by fundraising for them.
Donna, Andrew, Lucy & Ada Rainey
