Harlee's story

Harlee's Angels was set up by Fern and Ryan Steele, the parents of Harlee, who died unexpectedly in June 2020 from an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the brain.

“Harlee’s Angels helped us with a bill when we were struggling. It was one less thing to worry about that week, and that meant so much.”

How we can help

The sudden death of a child is overwhelming for the whole family, and worries about money can make it harder still. We offer practical help so that families can take the time they need to grieve.

Financial assistance

Help for families who have lost a child.

Household bills and groceries

Support with everyday costs, to take some of the pressure away.

Private counselling

Help with the cost of private counselling with experienced bereavement counsellors.

We support parents and guardians of a child, up to and including the age of 19, who has died suddenly, in an accident, or from an unexpected or undiagnosed illness. We help families in Southampton and across the UK.

“After our child died, there were days when I couldn’t face opening the post. The bills were still coming in, and I didn’t know where to start. Having some help gave us a little breathing space when even the simplest things felt overwhelming.”
