We are fundraising to provide our support for Dreams & Wishes, a wonderful charity established by Tony Curtis MBE, dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families by making their dreams and wishes come true.
How Are Howells Helping?
We want to make this Christmas extra special for the children and to do this Wendy Hobbs has written and published an enchanting children’s Christmas story. All profits will be donated to the charity.
‘Claudia's Special Wish’ was launched on the 19th November by Alun Cairns, Secretary of State for Wales, the Welsh Guards and the event was attended by board members of the charity.
Tony Curtis MBE, Chairman of Dreams & Wishes said:
“We are delighted that Wendy accepted our invitation to write this special children’s book for us. The story is a compelling read that ties in with what we want to achieve as a charity - to grant the wishes of the children we have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know, whilst they battle and show exceptional courage against the illnesses they are dealing with.
“Wendy has created a book that shines and warms the heart, and I hope that as many people as possible buy their own copy to both enjoy the story and illustrations as well as support our charity.”
Major Retailers Are Eager to Help
A growing number of local and national companies, including M&S, Waitrose and the Monmouthshire Building Society, are getting involved by hosting book signing events with Wendy, and placing orders for the book which they are then reselling or gifting to their own staff and customers.
Wendy is thrilled that her book has already been so well received. She said:
“It was an honour to be asked to help a charity that I know so well and was already a volunteer. Writing ‘Claudia’s Special Wish’ was a delight and a unique experience knowing that what I was going to produce will directly help put a big smile on the faces of the special children and their families this Christmas.
“The book contains a series of beautiful illustrations that perfectly capture the story. Please show your support for this wonderful charity and buy a copy, all profits generated will be donated to Dreams & Wishes.”
