CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is a national organisation dedicated to providing assistance to children that are battling cancer or life-threatening blood disorders, and their families.
CHOC Western Cape has three facilities that provide a ‘home away from home’ for disadvantaged families that travel long distances for treatment. The CHOC Lodge Tygerberg provides assistance to families receiving treatment at Tygerberg Children’s Hospital, while the CHOC House Plumstead takes in families from Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital and Groote Schuur Hospital.
Earlier this year, Wendy Robyn from IT’s network department took it upon herself to collect presents for children residing in these houses. IT staff donated 22 gift packages and these were successfully dropped off at the CHOC Tygerberg Lodge last week. Some gifts will go to patients at the Paediatric Oncology Ward at Tygerberg and the balance will go to Red Cross.
This foundation receives no support from government and rely on donations and financial support from the public. Therefore they depend on any support you are able to afford and willing to give. For more information click the link below or contact Lynette at lynette.muthuray@choc.org.za.
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is `n nasionale organisasie wat toegewy is aan die ondersteuning van kinders, en hulle families, wat die stryd teen kanker of ander lewensbedreigende, bloedverwante siektes veg.
CHOC Wes-Kaap het drie fasiliteite wat `n “tuiste weg van die huis” bied vir benadeelde families wat langafstande moet reis vir behandeling. Die Tygerberg CHOC herberg verskaf hulp aan families wat behandeling ontvang by Tygerberg Kinderhospitaal, terwyl CHOC House Plumstead families huisves van die Rooi Kruis Kinderhospitaal en Groote Schuur Hospitaal.
Vroeër die jaar het, Wendy Robyn van IT se netwerkafdeling besluit om geskenke in te samel vir die kinders van hierdie huise. IT-personeel het 22 geskenke gegee en die pakkies is verlede week by die Tygerberg CHOC Lodge afgelewer. Van die geskenke sal aan pasiënte by die Pediatriese Onkologie Afdeling in Tygerberg gegee word en die oorblywende geskenke sal na die Rooi Kruis Kinderhospitaal geneem word.
Hierdie stigting ontvang geen ondersteuning van die regering nie en is afhanklik van donasies en finansiële ondersteuning van die publiek. Hulle is dus afhanklik van enige hulp wat jy kan en bereid is om te gee. Vir meer inligting, kliek op die skakel onder of kontak Lynette direk by lynette.muthuray@choc.org.za.
