Hi Geoff 

Wrapped in Kindness

August brings some of those beautiful, clear winter days that make us grateful to live in this special part of the world. At Hospice, we like to warm these sunny days with a few extra-special moments of care.

This month, we were given some wonderfully soft, warm baby blankets, and we immediately knew the perfect little patient to receive them. We took along a few small toys for his two siblings and a little treat for his lovely Mum. It was a simple gesture, but one filled with joy.

We are able to bless families in these small but meaningful ways because of the generosity and support you give. We love putting the two together — the generosity of our community and the joy of giving something special to our patients and their families. It is a beautiful reminder that kindness, when shared, has a way of coming full circle.

 

Every Child Matters

Every child matters, and at Hospice we believe that children need a safe place to be heard, especially when they are navigating bereavement, loss or challenging circumstances at home. Our child support groups provide a gentle space where children can express their feelings, process what they are going through and simply be themselves. We draw alongside these young hearts with patience, understanding and care, helping them discover that they are not alone. Through conversation, creative activities, play and connection, we give children the time and space they need to work through difficult emotions at their own pace. If you would like to support our Hospice Children's Fund, please deposit into our KSH Nedbank current acc 1089003145 with the ref Children's Fund.
