Elsie's story

Elsie was diagnosed with a brain tumour four years ago. Her mum Chantal has been her voice through every meeting, every decision, and every fight for the right support.

When your child is diagnosed with cancer you feel so alone. You feel like no one understands β€” and they don’t, until they have lived it themselves.

Since my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour four years ago, the Daniella Logun Foundation has offered nothing but kindness and support. I know I can call or text Angela at any time with any concerns or questions, big or small, and she welcomes me with open arms every time.

Knowing you have a shoulder to cry on, and an organisation who is there for you consistently, means so much to me. They are not only that β€” but the knowledge the charity has within the brain tumour community is fantastic.

The charity has not only been a great support to me but also to Elsie. The wellbeing of my daughter is the most important thing to me, and having contact with other families with children with brain tumours has really helped. They contributed to her schooling, helping me with her EHCP plan, and finding a new SEN school for Elsie. Having that help makes me feel I can handle the situations thrown at me with confidence β€” and that makes me a better mum to Elsie.

I am Elsie’s voice, and it’s my job to fight for her rights and needs. Angela is always there right behind me.

Angela and Terry provide a place you feel safe and loved, and I honestly don’t think I would be where I am today without them.

Give Elsie more reasons to keep smiling β€” because #familywellbeingmatters after a child has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
