It’s always nice to hear the doorbell ring and it is a bearer of good news. So said Khanya Hospice CEO, Neil McDonald, who with nursing manager, Sr Sue van Rijsbergen, was pleasantly surprised to see Lwandle Memka of Lignotech with a suitcase full of masks for Khanya Hospice.
“Sr Sue was very excited, because for Khanya Hospice to purchase these masks is just too costly. A big thank you to Lignotech management and staff for thinking about us. We have had an big increase in our patient numbers in the past three month and for us to protect our staff, we have had to already outlay money for extra masks, plastic aprons, latex gloves, sanitiser, soap and so on,” said Neil.
Shiraz Kalil, the owner of Street Customs, also donated 10 litres of sanitiser and face masks. “He has been a wonderful Hospice supporter all the years that I have been here. He has always supported our annual Hospice Fair with his ‘show and shine’ and ‘sound off‘ competitions, so a big thank you to Shiraz.
Khanya Hospice offers free palliative nursing care to terminally ill people who request this. Hospice is not government-funded and that’s why they are so thankful to all who donate and think of them. Anyone wanting to donate clothes, cutlery or crockery, furniture of whatever you have to give away, call Neil on 083-597-8985 or email hospice@khanyahospice.co.za.
