Liberty’s story

Liberty’s story
Liberty was 15 when her older sister India was diagnosed with a brain tumour, from which she sadly died. During India’s illness, Liberty joined a Hope youth trip to Tanzania where she witnessed a baby being born, which changed the course of her life.

Liberty today
Today, in part thanks to that Hope group trip to Tanzania, Liberty is a midwife, pictured here on a recent trip back to Africa. She says Hope is an essential refuge for young people experiencing life changing loss, and helped her to feel heard.

Most of Hope’s trips are closer to home, such as this one to a local wildlife park. Hope’s group activities provide an opportunity for children and young people to make new friends and begin to talk about their feelings and experiences.
