Players and staff from Wrexham AFC and Wrexham AFC Women paid a visit to Hope House Children’s Hospice in the run-up to Christmas – donating scarves to both the young residents and carers.
Max Cleworth, Louisha Doran and Steve Dale all visited Hope House in Oswestry.
The visit included meeting a young resident, Esmay, as her inspiring story brought both smiles to both players and staff alike as she continues to defy the odds each day.
We were also proud to donate tickets for today’s Boxing Day fixture against Blackpool to Esmay, her family and the carers at Hope House Children’s Hospice.
Speaking about the visit to Hope House, Cleworth said: “We came to visit a young girl called Esmay who certainly put a smile on my face.
“She’s a young girl who uses the facilities at Hope House and she showed us around, introducing us to the other children that come here.
“It was a real eye opener to the work that goes on and how much value the place and the staff have for the children and families who come here. The people here are brilliant, and it’s been great to experience that.”
Head of the Wrexham AFC Foundation Jamie Edwards added: “We want to show how football can bring people together.
“Charities such as Hope House are brilliant 365 days of the year so as a Football Club, we want to make sure we support them throughout the year and not just the Christmas period.
“Esmay is an absolute warrior of a little girl and an inspiration. It was great to bring Max, Louisha and Steve to meet her. I think the family got a lot out of it and we look forward to welcoming them to the STōK Cae Ras for our Boxing Day fixture against Blackpool.”
