Child cancer charity Joshua Tree to aid more north Wales families

She said the charity had also worked hard to put peer support together so all family members can find some respite.

“It’s a community that speaks the same language, that understands life has got ugly and hard but the support they give each other is really beautiful.”

She said many families have said it was isolating and lonely, not just for the poorly child but for the parents and often siblings who were “really lost” too.

“They can feel jealous or isolated and don’t understand what’s happening to their routine of family life.”

Now studying for her A-levels and looking ahead to university, Amelie is now cancer free, but she still has to regularly travel for appointments, check-ups and scans.

She said she still relied on the support she gets from Joshua Tree.

“I can call Sara, and chat to her. She’s always there for me.”
