Vicki’s emergency dash to hospital.
When Vicki was admitted unexpectedly she had nothing with her, no toothbrush, no shampoo and no means to brush her hair. The small comfort kit she received from the Foundation changed everything.
A hospital stay is rarely planned, and for many patients an unexpected admission can mean arriving with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing.
That’s why, thanks to generous donor support, Wellington Hospitals Foundation provides patient care packs - small, but essential packs containing toiletry items to help patients feel a little more comfortable during a stressful time.
Last year my husband and I chose to start contributing to the Wellington Hospitals Foundation - knowing it would help people without thinking of the practicalities of what that would mean. This week I found myself making an emergency dash to hospital. The care pack of toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo made a huge difference - before my family had time to bring in other stuff. So I just wanted to say thanks very much, and delighted to know my donations will help others too. - Vicki
Your support helps provide care packs for hundreds of patients every year who arrive with nothing.
