Will power

Sunnyfield has had an immense impact on my life. In the 1960’s I had three children. My youngest Kristin was born in 1965 with Down syndrome and when Kristin was just 5 years old, my husband passed away. Alone with three children, I urgently needed to return to work.

Luckily for me, Hazel Whiddon, one of the original founders of Sunnyfield, took Kristin under her wing and into Sunnyfield’s care. I only wanted the very best for Kristin and Sunnyfield was the very best. Under the watchful eyes of the Matron of the house, Kristin thrived and Sunnyfield became Kristin’s life.

The staff at Sunnyfield supported her to enjoy all the loves in her life including music, ten pin bowling, swimming, athletics and watching the local rugby league team. She also had a job working at Sunnyfield Enterprises.

“Sunnyfield helped me at a time in my life when I needed it most.”

The staff have supported Kristin all her life. That’s why I have decided to give something back and have left a gift in my Will to Sunnyfield so they can continue their legacy.
