Sheenam's Wish - JHD grants
Sheenam’s wish is a charity set up to primarily support families whose lives have been affected by Juvenile Huntington’s Disease (“JHD”).
Sheenam herself was diagnosed as having JHD 12 years ago soon after her Dad passed away from Huntington’s disease. Sheenam embraces life to the full. Sheenam wishes to make a donation through her charity Sheenam’s Wish to other young people with JHD to enhance their quality of life.
Her wish was to raise £10,000 by her 30th Birthday. Through a year’s long fundraising activities this was achieved with the support of family and friends. Sheenam’s wish is to give a donation of £100 to each of the families affected by JHD in the UK.
The donations will be distributed on a first come first served basis as there are limited funds.
For further information or to obtain an application form please email sheenamswish@gmail.com or contact your Specialist HD Adviser or Head Office on Tel: 0151 331 5444 Email: info@hda.org.uk
A message from the founder of “Sheenams wish”:
My name is Sheenam. I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with JHD 12 years ago. I studied International Tourism Management at Leeds University and was leading a full and active life.
The disease has progressed and I’m now in a nursing home. I’m no longer able to speak, I am tube fed and can’t walk without support. However I am a very positive fun loving person.
My wish for you is to have some fun.
Some of the things I enjoyed doing were going to Alton towers, bowling, cinema, eating out with friends and family, going on holiday.
I would like you to spend the money doing something you would enjoy.
If you wish to apply for this donation of £100 please complete and return the enclosed form to the Charity Administrator Paramjit Oberoi. Your feedback on how you spend the donation is vital as this will help us to raise more funds and awareness of JHD in the future.
Wishing you love and light,
Sheenam Oberoi
