Grateful nappy donation received by Khanya Hospice
She contacted family and friends to ask them to pledge a pack of diapers per month.
Khanya Hospice received a surprise donation of adult nappies from a civic-minded supporter. “Preashnee Sewdayal decided she is going to do an adult nappy drive for Khanya Hospice. She has always heard and seen in the media about the kind of work our nursing staff do in a large area,” said CEO, Neil McDonald.
Preashnee arrived with about 20 packets of adult nappies in September for the first time. She surprised staff again with a return visit on Tuesday morning, 17 November with another 24 packets. As part of a project for a training course at a religious organisation, she contacted family and friends to ask them to pledge a pack of diapers per month for the next 12 months. She was overwhelmed by their kindness.
“We are truly blessed,” said Neil. “We use adult nappies and toiletries all the time when we see our patients. We often get to a patient’s house and they do not even have the bare essential toiletries. Unfortunately we cannot turn a blind eye, so we try and help as much as we can with the limited resources we have. We even decant into smaller quantities if need be. Thank you Preashnee and all her supporters for this wonderful donation.”
