How becoming a member makes a difference

Being a first-time mum can be daunting for any parent, but when Sarah’s son Ethan suffered a catastrophic stroke during delivery her world changed forever.

It took another three months for doctors to discover its true impact, when a scan revealed half of Ethan’s brain had been affected. He has since been diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy which means he requires 24-hour care. Sarah said: “They were quite amazed Ethan had survived. Nobody could tell us what would happen with him because in theory he shouldn’t have been with us.”

Ethan visits Acorns in Birmingham for short breaks, which helps reenergise both Sarah and Kerry, and is a chance for them to recharge their batteries. It also gives Ethan, now 16, chance to spend time away from mum and dad and with other young people. “Acorns makes a huge amount of difference,” Sarah explained. “We don’t receive any support from anybody other than Acorns. It’s literally just me and Kerry caring for Ethan.

“We rely on Acorns. Without Acorns we’d be exhausted – I don’t think we could do it without them.

It costs Acorns around £100 to provide one 24-hour short break to a child, enabling their family to get vital respite support at the times when they need it the most. Through your membership you could fund a night at Acorns for a child just like Ethan.
