Zoe's Place - 2007

On 30th March, Kay Shepard and John Clucas represented Merseycats when they handed over a cheque for £2,000 to Zoe's Place, on behalf of Merseycats. Kay reports.

"I have just got back from Zoe’s Place, John picked me up and we went together. A beautiful two and a half year old little girl called Jamie Lee (left) with a tube in her throat showed us round. She took us into her bedroom; it had about 6 cots in there. God love her, we couldn’t really understand what she was saying because the child had a traciostomy in, but when we did, she was pointing out a cot for me to sleep in and one for John to sleep in.

Such a strong little girl, her strength for such a little lady makes one feel so humble.

We were shown around the bereavement suite. Penny, the fund raising manager showed us the room they use for a mortuary, with a refridgerated cot for babies to be laid out in when they have passed away.

So beautifully decorated, it makes one ashamed of the trivial things we complain about in our everyday life.
