World Child Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The countdown is on, only 5 days to go until International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD), and this year we want to make something amazing happen!
For the children we support, getting to hospital is a major challenge. With long distances and expensive journeys, many children fail to attend appointments and complete treatments.
When care is hundreds of miles away, hope seems distant – but you can help change that.
We urgently need to raise £2,500 to help children get one step further on the road to recovery.
- £80 could cover return transportation costs from a remote region to a major care centre in Ghana.
- £50 could cover 2 weeks of accommodation for a family in Dhaka, Bangladesh whilst their child receives care, so that they can be closer to the hospital during ongoing treatment.
- £33 could support transportation costs for a child and caregiver to travel between home and hospital for a chemotherapy appointment in Cameroon.
This is just one example of how the challenges children face are solvable if the correct support is available. You have the power to give support this ICCD – donate now!
Now is the time to give.”
