Crown Wealth Consultants supporting Taylor-Made Dreams

At Taylor-Made Dreams, we support children aged between 3 – 18, in the counties of Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Essex with life-limiting illnesses to achieve their dreams.

Our aim is to enable children and their families to experience unique quality time and experiences together, which otherwise may not have been possible without support from our services.

Setup in 2014 by CEO and Founder Suzi Mitchell, Taylor-Made Dreams was created in memory of Taylor Mitchell, Suzi’s son, who sadly passed away after a 4-year battle against a terminal condition in September 2011, aged just 15. After completing Taylor’s own list of wishes, Suzi recognised the gap in charitable services to realise the unique wish lists of children with life-limiting illnesses. Over our 11 years as a charity, we have grown our services to support the whole family, now sitting at 10 core services. Alongside wish fulfilment, we also provide: Holistic therapy, counselling sessions, medical travel fund, funeral fund, medical sheepskin fleeces, photoshoot experiences, memory keepsakes, sibling support service and a technology loan library.

We wanted our services to support the whole family, making sure families are both financially and emotionally cared for throughout their difficult journey, to help make each memory/dream that much more memorable.

Over the past year, we have provided hundreds of services, from holidays to new game consoles, family photoshoots to celebrity meetings. One special meeting came at the beginning of this year, when we arranged for TMD Warrior Poppy, to visit her favourite football team Liverpool FC, thanks to our Patron, comedian and actor John Bishop.

“The trip to Liverpool FC’s training ground was honestly the best day for everyone involved and it wouldn’t have been possible without Taylor-Made Dreams. It really was a once in a lifetime experience and we all smiled all day especially the kids.

We virtually met the whole team as well as the manager and coaching staff. Everyone was super kind to Poppy, they made her and her brother Jude feel extra special making a point to guide each player to Poppy and Jude before the rest of them. A day we will never forget.” – Jordan, Poppy’s Dad

These services wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support we receive from both individuals and businesses, like Crown Wealth Consultants. CWC have been an incredible supporter for many years, providing vital funds to help make sure every wish is possible for TMD families.

Supporting Taylor Made Dreams is deeply personal to me. I met the founder Suzi Mitchell when our sons were in hospital together. My son Reuben (who was 18 months old at the time) had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and whilst he thankfully recovered, it was one of the hardest times of my life.

Despite the age difference, Suzi’s son Taylor was so kind to Reuben in hospital. They shared a hospital room and the memory of them playing together will always remain with me. We were devastated when we heard that Taylor had lost his battle against his illness.

Taylor Made Dreams gives children with life-limiting illnesses the chance to experience joy, create memories and receive emotional support when families need it most.

I support them because I have seen the heart behind the charity. I know how much strength it takes for a family to get through each day when their child is unwell and I’m just happy that my support will hopefully mean that those families, will get the chance to experience light during incredibly dark times.
