Stepping Stone Hospice is deeply moved by a wonderful act of generosity that has given their Brick by Brick campaign a boost. Cheryl Jordaan, with the support of her husband Tony, has donated 100 beautifully printed A5 booklets, each containing 10 pages, to help Stepping Stone raise funds toward phase one of their Brick by Brick project.

Tersia Burger, founder and CEO of Stepping Stone Hospice, said, “This donation is a beautiful reflection of the kind of community spirit that makes what we do at Stepping Stone possible. I want to appeal to each and every one in the community to please consider collecting one of these booklets and joining us on this journey.

“Every rand donated is a step toward building a place of peace, dignity, and comfort for those facing life’s most difficult chapter. We cannot do this without you, and together, I truly believe we can make this dream a reality,” said Tersia.

Cheryl, whose family experienced the care of Stepping Stone first-hand, shared what inspired her and Tony to give.

“When Tessa from Stepping Stone approached us to assist with printing booklets for the Brick by Brick initiative, we decided to donate them.

“It is a privilege to assist as a token of our appreciation for the exceptional care my late father and our family received from the Hospice during the final weeks of his life. He was cared for both at home and later in the inpatient unit, where he passed away peacefully last May,” said Cheryl

“We wish Stepping Stone every success with their fundraiser to build a dedicated adult in-patient facility alongside the children’s unit in Raceview. We encourage everyone to support this project and hope that more booklets will be needed soon,” said Cheryl.

Phase one of the campaign is raising R6.5m toward the construction of a brand new 14-bed adult Hospice, creating a sanctuary where adults facing life limiting illnesses can receive the comfort, dignity, and compassionate care they deserve.
