hi, I hope I'm on the right forum here and someone can help. My friend has a 9 month baby who has a rare disorder which means she is unlikely to live beyond around 2 years. I have been looking into 'make a wish foundation' as my friend is trying really hard to make some good memeories for herself, baby and husband, however i've noticed that you can only refer someone if there child is 3 years plus. Is there anything similar for babies? I know my friend would love to go on a family hoilday, even if it's just in a caravan locally, but money is tight for them. Any ideas?

The Family Fund might be able to help.

This is a link to their website - more specifically the page giving examples of the type of things they offer grants for. I notice a few of them say 'much needed break' on, so they may well help fund a holiday.

If the first application to the one I posted a link to above hasnt got funding I would apply to another and keep trying till you find one which has funding for your friends dream holiday. Good luck while family fund are great they only give £550 of holiday vouchers but the wish granters I posted to do dream holidays so please give them a try.
