Edward's Story

Fundraising Stories

Gifts in Wills pay for the care of one in four of our patients. By leaving the Hospice a Gift in your Will, you can secure a legacy of care and kindness for the people of Bristol.

Edward's daughter Samantha was cared for by St Peter's, and he has pledged to leave a Gift to the Hospice in his Will.

Samantha and Edward

"The care every member of staff showed my daughter Samantha and myself was exemplary. They responded every time Samantha needed help, whether medication, reassurance, or comfort, both at her home and at the Inpatient Unit.

"St Peter's did everything possible during those last ten days. A bed was made up for me every night; shower facilities, towels, shaving kit supplied daily. The doctors, senior staff and carers kept me up to date.

"On Samantha's passing the staff were so thoughtful, and when I left on that sad day members of staff went out of their way to comfort me. I will never forget the kindness shown towards us by St Peter's Hospice. That is why I decided to leave a Gift in my Will."
