Just in Time Baby Sanctuary in Greenhills hosted a party as fundraiser on Saturday, 8 February.
Although the rain came unexpectedly, people arrived in their numbers to support not only the Sanctuary, but baby Joel in particular.

Georgina Caetano, founder of Just in Time, explained that the party was held to raise funds for the Sanctuary – which solely relies on donations – as well as for seven-month-old baby Joel who is hard of hearing and needs full diagnostic tests to determine what he needs.
“Time is of the essence; if we could get his treatment sorted out before he turns one, his speech and everything else will develop as normal,” she stated.

Georgina added, “We are a non-profit organisation and receive no funding from the government; therefore we need funding and the only way to raise the funds is through fundraisers.
“A big thank you to all the sponsors who helped make Just In Time Baby Sanctuary’s first Pop Up Party such a success. Last, but definitely not least, we would love to thank everyone who attended this event. We hope you and your children had an awesome time.”
