Patient get-together on World Palliative Care Day, October 8
“It was heaven to feel the waves on my feet. I shall never forget this,” said a person on a wheelchair, who, since her spinal cord injury, had never been able to see the sea again. We had made it happen on a World Palliative Care Day.
This year again, we are organizing a get-together for the people we care for and their families on October 8, 2016, at Shanghumugham Beach, Trivandrum.
A trip to the beach for some of you would be just a matter of finding the time. For many others, it could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Can you help?
For each patient and family the expense estimated (for food and a gift) is ₹900 (US $15). Please donate whatever you can to make this event a happy one for our patients and their families.
World Hospice and Palliative Care Day is a unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. The theme for this year’s World Palliative Care Day is ‘Living and Dying in Pain: It doesn’t have to happen.’
The aims of the World Hospice and Palliative Care Day are to increase the availability of hospice and palliative care throughout the world by creating opportunities to speak out about the issues; to raise awareness and understanding of the needs – medical, social, practical, spiritual – of people living with a life limiting illness and their families; and to raise funds to support and develop hospice and palliative care services around the world.
