You are invited to celebrate the first anniversary of Stepping Stone Hospice's Children Unit
The community is warmly invited to join Stepping Stone Hospice on July 29 from 10:00 to 13:00 as the organisation celebrates the first anniversary of its Children's Unit.
Since opening, the unit has provided compassionate care to young patients and vital support to their families during some of life's most difficult moments.
This gathering will be a moment for both gratitude and remembrance.
A special tribute will honour two young patients who have earned their Angel Wings. In their memory, the guests will release balloons filled with forget-me-not seeds.
These seeds serve as a symbol of love, remembrance, and the lasting impact these children have had on all who knew them.
The community is encouraged to attend and show their support.
Donations of food platters or drinks to assist with the celebration would be appreciated.
For more information, contact the Hospice at 010 442 5059.
