Penny's Story

Living in Uncertainty

When families face the unimaginable, your support through Your Hospice Lottery helps provide comfort, care, and hope. Just like Penny’s family.

Penny is a young child living with an undiagnosed condition. She is known as a SWAN — a child with a Syndrome Without A Name. Despite being under the care of numerous consultants and undergoing long-sequencing genetic testing, her condition remains a mystery. For Penny and her family, the journey has been filled with uncertainty and emotional challenges.

Finding Hope

But thanks to the specialist charity support provided by Zoe’s Baby Hospice, Penny and her family have found a place of safety, joy, and understanding.

Since joining Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice just over a year ago, Penny’s family has experienced first-hand the transformative impact of hospice care. Every visit brings a smile to Penny’s face. She knows she is entering a space where she is not only safe but celebrated. The hospice team treats her with warmth, dignity, and affection — making her feel like a princess every time she walks through the door.

Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice doesn’t just support the child — they embrace the whole family. From emotional support for parents to inclusive sibling days and community fundraising events, the hospice creates a nurturing environment where families feel seen, heard, and cared for.

Penny’s parents describe Zoe’s Place as their extended family — a place that has been there for them in ways words can hardly express. The charity’s services have brought comfort during difficult times and created joyful memories that will last a lifetime.
