“In a hospital, you’re just a patient; but in a hospice, you’re a person.”
Michelle was diagnosed with terminal cancer at just 37 years old. She came to St Catherine’s Hospice when her illness became too much for her family to handle at home. She says: “Had I not come to the hospice when I did, I wouldn’t be here, sharing my story.” Your donation means more people, like Michelle and her family, can receive the care and respite they need during the hardest of times.
“Coming to the Living Well Centre is the highlight of my week.”
Stanley was referred to Living Well Centre after spending some time on our Inpatient Unit. He said that his weekly visits helped him cope with the loss of his wife, and meant he could meet more people in a similar position to him. Your donation means that more people, like Stan, can have regular contact with our Living Well team and spend time with others who are also dealing with a terminal illness.
