Mother of four energetic boys Yemi and her husband Temitayo also benefited from SFHF holidays in Skegness.
“It was our first vacation as a family and when we found out we were going, we were so happy,” he said.
“For my boys, it was their first time on a train and they were extremely excited,” he said.
She said her youngest child, Ayosubomi, was a “lockdown baby” and missed interacting with other children.
Yemi said the holidays had a “wonderful result”.
“He came home from school and told me how he was playing well with other kids and sharing toys.
“His behavior has improved a lot, and I’m very proud of him”.
Helen Bolt, family services manager at Sheffield Young Carers, who refers families to the charity, described the holidays as “transformational”.
“They create space for positive shared memories, something that many families wouldn’t have the opportunity to do otherwise.”
“They help improve family functioning and emotional well-being long after the holidays are over.”
