Stepping Stone Hospice golf day to raise funds for new children’s unit
Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services is set to open a new children’s unit in the coming months.
This vital project will provide specialised care and support for young patients facing life-threatening illnesses.
There is a critical shortage of facilities dedicated to children’s palliative care. This unit, named after Stepping Stone’s first young patient, Martelise Meaker, will offer 10 beds with dedicated space for parents, as well as play and study areas, all within a warm and welcoming environment designed to help minimise stress and anxiety.
But they need the community’s help to make it a reality. Funds are still needed for medical equipment, 10 paediatric medical beds and operational costs.
How you can help
The success of this special unit hinges on community support. One of the ways you can make a difference is by contributing to Stepping Stone’s Annual Golf Day on April 18 at Reading Golf Club.
All proceeds from this event will go towards the new children’s unit.
Enter a four-ball at R3600 or show your corporate compassion, while also gaining valuable exposure, by sponsoring a hole for either R3,000 or R5 000.
There is also a need for prizes at the event. Or you can make a general donation to Stepping Stone Hospice
“Every contribution, big or small, will bring us closer to our goal,” said Stepping Stone Hospice CEO, Tersia Burger, adding that, “together we can create a very special place for these brave children and their families.”
