HOSPISS LV

Festive table in February.

This week, volunteers visited in three Riga hospitals severely ill patients with the charity campaign "Festive Table"!

Sometimes it takes very little to cheer everyone up. We want to be there for palliative care patients, to cheer them up with treats that are different from hospital food, to be there for them and to listen to them.

The project is supported by the selfless work of volunteers and donations.

 Thanks to everyone who donates to this project, the donations are used to purchase the essential products and to involve local cafes and restaurants.

The patients appreciate real, homemade coffee and ice cream, just like in their sunny childhood. Thanks to our supporters: the Rāmkalni and Kalve Coffee ! On Tuesday we visited Riga East Clinical University Hospital " Biķernieki" , on Wednesday we delivered the treats to Riga 1st Hospital , and on Thursday volunteers from Paula Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital visited patients in three departments - Oncology, Radiotherapy and Palliative Care.
