Creating an 'In Memoriam' page on JustGiving |
This is not difficult to do. It will allow you to display a message about the person you are remembering and you can, if you wish, add a photograph. You can then tell friends and families about it and send them the link. It is a nice way for people who are unable to attend a funeral or memorial service to feel involved.
- Go to: http://www.justgiving.com/brainwave/Remember and follow the instructions. You will need to register if you haven't already.
- After setting up the editorial, if you click at the top of the page 'skip this step go to your control panel', this will take you to a page where you can add in an automatic thank you for anyone who donates. The icon says 'edit your thank you message'.
- If you would like to receive an email alert every time someone donates, click on 'change your mail preferences'.
- You can decide on how long you want your page to exist by clicking on 'extend your page'.
If you would like to speak to someone about leaving a gift in your will, 'In Memoriam' donations and tributes, phone 01278 429089.
DOWN SYNDROME TESTIMONIAL - EMMA
I think Brainwave is brilliant. I'd been looking for this type of help, and although it took me three years, I know I've found it.
The therapists are fantastic; they are so supportive. At the Initial Assessment, they really gave us hope and made us feel there is something we can do to help Emma. They were there to help us, and to teach us how to help Emma.
So many people you see suggest that you do a bit of this, or that you do that, it can become quite mind-boggling. To have a clear and structured programme written down in a simple list that you know is addressing all her areas of development, is brilliant. You know then that you're doing as much as you can.
Although Emma had just taken a few steps when we started Brainwave a couple of months ago, I still can't quite get my head around seeing her walking about now. We started with working on her balance, and now she's doing so well.
