Danni – Vice Chairwoman, Trustee, Fundraiser and Events Coordinator
Hi, I’m Danni. I am a 37 year old mum who gave birth to two beautiful children. I have a very strong, loving, caring and resilient son who is 10 years of age and I am also mummy to a beautiful bright shining angel who relocated to heaven after only being on this earth with me for 8 short weeks. Sadly I became aware of Tyler’s Friends after losing my healthy baby girl back in 2018. Tylers friends came to me in my time of need, i was a bereaved mummy, i didn’t know which way to turn, I was grieving the loss of my baby daughter and then on top of that the worrying financial pain of how I would fulfil my wishes for my princesses funeral. Tyler’s friends financially support families by holding events and fundraising. They came to my rescue, my daughter travelled like every princess should in a beautiful white carriage pulled by two elegant white horses with pink plumes. Tylers friends helped me immensely in my grieving process, and when they approached me about joining as a Trustee I didn’t even give it a second thought, now 7 years on I have been promoted to Vice Chairwoman. I knew I wanted to give back and give that help and support to other families whilst they are going through a loss that no parent should. A charity of this nature should not exist, no family should ever have to endure such pain but sadly we do. Due to my loss, I went in search of my most desired career, and that was in the funeral industry. I have had the privilege to work as an Embalmer for over 3 years, helping many families along their grieving process and I have now ventured into front of house, becoming a Funeral Arranger. I take pride in being able to assist and support people daily on their journey and support those who need it. Tylers friends work endlessly, we work full time and in our spare time we continue working in the hope it helps relieve and ease others pain and help make it just that little bit easier. I never thought 8 years ago this would be a bio of mine but it is. Sadly, we need your continued support in which ever way you can, no matter how big or small it makes a massive difference to our families. Thank you for helping us help them.
