We need just £469 to hit our target by 31 Dec! A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported our Christmas Bed Appeal on Just Giving. You have raised over £1700 to buy special hospital beds for very sick children and young people at the Luz y Vida children’s home in Bogotá, Colombia.
Please consider making a donation – your personal Christmas gift to these less vulnerable and needy children. Even £5 can make a difference so please give what you can.
The inspirational Luz y Vida home cares for 230 residents with conditions including with chronic or serious mental and physical health conditions including cerebral palsy, crystal skin (Epidermolysis Bullosa), hearing loss, blindness, mental and developmental delay, chronic and acute malnutrition, gastrostomy (gastric tube feeding), quadriplegia and cancer. Each child and young person is given professional medical care and lots of love and encouragement to achieve their own full potential.
The beds they need are electrically operated and adjustable to five different positions to raise the patient’s back or legs or the mattress height and make it easier for carers to attend to the child’s needs. They have IV (Intravenous Therapy) stands and custom-built mattresses to help prevent bedsores and improve patient comfort.
