An urgent appeal has been made for donations to ensure the vital work of the Southern Area Hospice Services can continue after the cancellation of all fundraising events because of COVID-19.
The Southern Hospice, based in Newry, has said there are a number of ways in which people can give money, which is needed now more than ever.
This picture says it all – nurses, Jackie O’Rourke and Jenny Wilson, are asking you to please continue to support the Hospice during these unprecedented times.
A spokesperson for SAHS said: “With all of our fundraising events cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis, it is to you, our many friends and supporters, that we must turn to for help.
“We are still here providing essential care, support and advice to the people in our community that depend on us, and we want to continue with our work.
“But we need your help – and so today we are asking you to donate whatever you can afford, to ensure that in these most uncertain of times for us all, our doors remain open and we can continue to provide the care our patients and their families need.
“Your support now is vital – anything you can donate will make a difference. We can only care because people like you do.
“Thank-you and take care.”
