Lucy Roberts tells an emotional family story in the promotional video.
East Cheshire Hospice hope the powerful personal account encourages businesses and other groups to join its 500 club.
Lucy said in the film: “Today a really lovely family has just lost their grandpa. Charlie had four lovely grandchildren who all came to visit.
Lucy checks a patient’s medication chart.
“They were so thankful and pleased he could spend his last few days at the Hospice. We gave the kids one of our special memory teddies and books to help with their grieving process.
“The teddies are handmade by our volunteers and Charlie had a matching one that will be buried with him.
“This didn’t just comfort the children but it also helped the parents who were nervous about bringing their children to visit their poorly grandpa.
“We care for families like Charlie’s daily and without the support from our local community we simply couldn’t do this.
Arriving for work… Lucy prepares to go on the ward.
“We help them make those special memories in a calm and peaceful environment, whether it’s a phone call to the concerned carer, a difficult question answered compassionately, or a final uninterrupted and peaceful conversation with a loved one.
“The Hospice know every single minute counts when facing an illness and we’re dedicated to enabling families to spend those precious moments together.
“Your donation of £500 could provide a weekend of care to families likes Charlie’s, making all the difference at a time when it matters the most.”
