BrzozowDespite lying in one of the poorest regions of Poland the hospice tries to provide care for all who need it.
The hospice provides domestic care for children and adults. It has around 60 patients under its care but that number is growing and with it the need for medical equipment and supplies, in particular dressings. The hospice cares for children as well as the elderly, and sometimes whole families. Its mission is to help terminally ill patients return to their homes and families, places where they feel safe and are surrounded by the love of those closest to them. The hospice helps in different ways, including through providing physical items and financial help, providing access to appropriate medical and physiotherapy equipment, as well as the provision of advice and information. Thanks to the work of the hospice, many patients are able to stay at home with their families. To date, the Alina Foundation has provided:
“We care for 38 children. Many of our little patients live in hard to access regions and often, if not for our help, they would be completely cut off from the world. The vehicles that we have sometimes can’t deal with steep and unpaved roads. A four-wheel vehicle would not only speed up our response time in emergencies, but would also allow us to support patients even in the most inaccessible regions.” "Thank you for all that you are doing - this is a great support for our patients" “The equipment that we have received from you is invaluable. Domestic hospices are really small hospitals: apart from wonderful people, staff, volunteers, we need medical equipment. It’s thanks to you that we can care for more patients. On behalf of our staff and patients, we send our sincere thanks to all the sponsors and donors who have supported us through the Alina Foundation.” See hospice website: www.dar-med.eu |
