Regular giving can help in so many ways:
£30 will buy DVDs or play materials to entertain a child for a week who is being treated for cancer or other serious disease requiring a long stay in hospital
£50 helps to provide a family with a room for 1 week in the hospital’s family accommodation facility when their child is sick in hospital
£100 will buy a special doll that helps to explain medical treatments so that patients will understand what is happening to them and to help to relieve the fear and anxiety of medical processes
£120 helps to fund a music or play therapist for one day to work interactively with a patient. Play and music are vital aspects of rehabilitation and recovery for the patient
£500 will fund a specialist Sleep Alarm that is used on many wards to monitor a child’s breathing whilst asleep
£1500 will buy a Syringe Pump used to deliver chemotherapy to patients suffering from cancer
£2500 will buy a Temporary Heart Pacemaker used to treat babies and children immediately following open-heart surgery.
£15,000 will purchase an incubator for the Intensive Care Unit. Incubators are designed specially to respond to a patient’s temperature and humidity by a small sensor placed on the skin. |
