Having someone to talk to over a cuppa during the difficult times is so important - and you can provide this for families with Huntington's disease through the work of SHA.

 

Our HD Specialists, Youth Advisors and Financial Wellbeing Officers are here for all HD families, supporting carers struggling to cope with their loved one's illness, easing the concerns of young people growing up in HD families and helping families to manage household bills and other money worries.

 

SHA's specialist advisors have the expertise, networks and commitment to help make every day better for families facing the challenges of this devastating and incurable disease.

 

By supporting our Cup O' Kindness appeal you will ensure SHA lifeline services are here for all families - and you'll send a message of friendship and hope to the HD community this festive season.
