Presentation “Joan Hunt one in a million” to associations in Malaga
On 4th February, we presented our campaign "Joan Hunt, one in a million", from our Hospice Centre in Benalmádena to associations from the province of Malaga, which aims to raise €1,000,000 to create and manage a Paediatric Palliative Care Unit for 4 years.
At the presentation were the Benalmádena Association for Disability Care ABAD, AECC Benalmádena and Málaga, the Mijas Association of People with Disabilities - ADIMI, the Benalmádena Volunteers Platform, the Costa del Sol Association of Relatives and People with Mental Illness - Afesol, the Cruzado Foundation and the Olivares Foundation; and on behalf of the Cudeca Hospice, the Chief Executive & Medical Director, Dr. Marisa Martín; and the Deputy Chief Executive & Financial Director, Rafael Olalla.
Cudeca's Paediatric Palliative Care Unit would include the specialised comprehensive care and compassionate accompaniment of children and adolescents, as well as their families, including not only parents, but also siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles... the whole family. A team of expert professionals: doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, physiotherapists, music therapists, art and play therapists, teachers, and volunteers, would work both in the homes and at the Cudeca Centre, in room number 10 or at the Day Care Centre.
The house where Cudeca's founder, Joan Hunt, lived her last years, located next to Cudeca's In-Patient Unit in Benalmádena, was built and paid for by herself. This house is a central part of this campaign, and will be converted into paediatric room, number 10, a space completely adapted to deal with such special, familiar and homely situations, with its own kitchen and a small garden overlooking the sea.
After 3 months of campaigning, we have raised more than 225,000€ so far, thanks to the generosity of the community of Malaga, which, although still far from the target, will allow us to implement a large part of the project in 2022.
The campaign will remain open until 28th February.
