It went further to pray for God’s blessings for all those who have contributed to the sustenance of the hospice over the years, “we really would not be here without you and we pray that God will bless you all,” the statement said.
The Hearts of Gold Children Hospice was established by Mrs. Adedoyin after a 25-year sojourn in the United Kingdom where she worked and operated facilities that took care of people with various types of disabilities.
The hospice currently houses and provides palliative care to more than 60 children with various forms of physical and mental disabilities.
God bless them all.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the name of their organization. It doesn't go with what they are doing for the children. Hospice means that the person has 6 months or less to die. What they are giving these children are supportive/Palliative care which is different from hospice care.
DeleteWhy would she give palliative care to children with physical and mental disability? Palliative care should be given to those that are dying not disabled kids. These kids can live a very long life. All the same, I commend the organization's effort.
Deletethis is nice
ReplyDeleteeehya...
