The news was devastating for their parents&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;but with the help of the Sense Family Centre in Peterborough, they found hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with help from Sense and fundraisers like Rob Lloyd, Mia and Charlie\u2019s parents have found ways to communicate with their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t provide vital services,&nbsp;such as our specialist support for children who are deafblind, without the generosity of supporters like Rob. We rely entirely on donations to keep these services going.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donate to support Rob Lloyd\u2019s fundraising for Sense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to make a donation to support Rob Lloyd, thank you!
