What is Harlee's Angels?
Harlee's Angels is a charity set up to offer assistance to the parents and guardians of a child, up to and including the age of 19, who has died suddenly, in an accident, or from an unexpected or undiagnosed illness. We support families living in Southampton and across the UK.
How we can help
We can provide financial assistance to families.
We can help with household bills and groceries.
We can assist with funding private counselling.
“We still remember how kindly we were treated. It meant so much to us then, and it still means just as much now.”
We know from experience that the death of a child is a traumatic experience. Grief can be overwhelming for the whole family, and even more so when the death is sudden and unexpected. Families will not have had time to process the death or the reason for it, and it can be difficult to take in or make sense of what has happened. There may be feelings of shock, disbelief and numbness, and sometimes even denial and guilt.
These feelings can be made worse by the worry of paying for essential household bills. We hope that Harlee's Angels can take some of that pressure away by offering financial assistance.
