Support the Compassionate Care Fund and Help Families in Need
Having a child require admittance to a hospital for critical care is an incredibly challenging experience. Already grappling with the stress of the health of their child, no family should also have to worry about additional financial burdens the stay may cause. The Royal Alexandra Hospital serves many patients from smaller, rural communities, for whom this issue is often amplified, as medical appointments can require frequent, inconvenient, and lengthy travel, not to mention finding and spending time in local accommodations.
By garnering support for the Compassionate Care Fund, the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation hope to alleviate that burden and help patients and families during their most vulnerable times.
THE NEED
The Compassionate Care Fund is a new effort dedicated to helping ease the financial burdens of families and children staying at the hospital, allowing them to better focus on their health and well-being.
In recognition of the particularly challenging circumstances faced by these families, the foundation—along with the support of compassionate individuals—has in certain cases facilitated one-time purchases to cover essential expenses, such as fuel and parking costs. However, a dedicated program such as this—with significant funding—is needed to more effectively process and alleviate the financial pressures that our hospital’s patients and their families face.
HOW YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP
By providing support to the Compassionate Care Fund, you are helping families with:
- Fuel Costs: Assisting with the expenses of long-distance travel to and from the hospital.
- Parking: Easing the burden of daily parking fees when making regular visits.
- Accommodations: Offering support to families who need to stay close to their child in the hospital for extended periods of time.
You can directly contribute to reducing the financial stresses that are often forgotten when a child is receiving care, costs that can accumulate and cause added difficulties for families in an already difficult situation. This fund can allow a family to fully dedicate their time and energy into the recovery and care of their child, helping to improve their emotional well-being during such important moments.
Your donation will directly impact the lives of families, making their journey through hospitalization less stressful and more manageable.
Become a beacon of hope for those families in need.
