Alyson Burt is hoping that kind-hearted Islanders with a little cash to spare can help with her appeal.
She says,
“These wonderful boys are my nephews, and light of my sister’s life. They are ages 2, 7 and 12.
“They have never been on a holiday. The oldest is always asking when he will get to stay in a hotel or ride a plane for the first time, and it’s heartbreaking to see his face when he is told they can’t afford it.
“My sister is a single mum who is stretched to her limits most days caring and providing for them (which she does an amazing job) but she just doesn’t have the money available to plan any sort of holiday.
“I decided to start an appeal because I feel they all deserve a break (Mum included!)
“If you could donate any amount it would mean the world to this family. I would love for this fund to raise enough for them to finally get to experience these things, and also for my sister to get some much needed relaxation.
“These children are her entire world and she never stops giving her all for them. Please help me to give something back to her!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and please donate any amount if you are able.
“These kids are wonderful and truly deserve this.”
