Kayleigh’s Wee Stars, making memories for courageous children
Kayleigh’s Wee Stars was set up in 2012 by Jonathan and Anna Cordiner after losing their 2-year-old daughter Kayleigh to terminal illness. After their daughter was diagnosed, they made it their mission to do everything they could to make her last few months as precious and memorable as possible. Money is the last thing parents should have to worry about at such an impossible time, and so, with a desire to do something to help, they established Kayleigh’s Wee Stars. Having a child with a terminal illness brings many challenges, but the immediate and longer-term financial impact is something that is often overlooked. The charity was established with one key objective in mind: that no family should have to worry about money when spending precious time with their terminally ill child.
