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.
