A PERSONAL APPEAL MADE BY HELEN PURSEY
Dear Friends,
This personal appeal is made by Helen Pursey, a cancer victim, and patient of Cudeca Hospice.
Foundation Cudeca is a registered NGO charity that provides hospice palliative care, without cost, to patients suffering from advanced non-curable cancer with support to their family. Their highly qualified medical teams supported by specially trained volunteers, offer patients treatment through their Home Care, In-Patient and Day Care programmes.
Although Cudeca Hospice teams are not able to add days to life, I know from my personal experience, that with their special kind of care they work from their knowledge and also from their hearts to “Add Quality of Life to Days”.
The In-Patient care unit is at risk of closing due to lack of funds. Please help by becoming a benefactor to give 10 euros a month payable by direct debit through your bank. Details for payment are available on the Cudeca webpage www.cudeca.org or by telephoning the Hospice Centre on 952 56 49 10

CUDECA’S URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP
The CUDECA Cancer Care Hospice in Arroyo de la Miel, is urgently in need of volunteers to help in the patient transport welfare programme, where volunteers accompany patients from their home to the Hospice Centre, or to hospital or the health centre.
The welfare volunteer will be a person who will accompany, listen, help and give support to patients and their family.
Volunteers will attend a course given by the professional staff at Cudeca. They are informed of the knowledge and skills that are necessary to carry out their role.
If you would like to help by becoming a transport welfare volunteer, please contact Inma Ruíz, who is responsible for the Volunteer Programme (Tel: 952 56 49 10 or voluntariado@cudeca.org )
The Marbella Rotary Club donates 10.000€ in aid of Cudeca
 |
Hotel Puente Romano, 27th May 2008.
Last night, the Marbella Rotary Club President, Mr. Carlos Zabala, presented Cudeca with a cheque for 10,000€. Rocío Torres Mancera, PR & Fundraising Manager was delighted to accept the generous donation on behalf of all the team at the Hospice.
The funds raised originated from the Charity Cuban Dinner held at the Marbella Golf and Country Club on Saturday 19th April.
Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice is an NGO offering specialist palliative care to patients suffering from advanced non-curable cancer within the province of Málaga. As an ONG charity, they are totally self-funding and it is with grateful appreciation to the warm hearted support they receive from generous people like the Rotary Club that during the years we have been able to complete the Hospice Centre and to care for more than 5,000 patients at the end of their life.
The 10,000€ raised at the dinner will go towards saving the in-patient unit from it’s current financial déficit of 600.000€, part of the 2 million Euro annual expenditure that the Hospice faces every year. Since the In-patient Unit opened in 2006, Cudeca has struggled to cover the high maintenance costs and is under threat of closure by 2009 due to lack of economic support.
For more information on our Calendar of Events 2008 or our “Become a Benefactor” campaign, please telephone the Hospice on 952 56 49 10 or e-mail cudeca@cudeca.org.
HELP US SAVE THE IN-PATIENT UNIT!
Dear Friend,
I am writing to you collectively because I am sure that you would wish to unite towards helping your hospice regardless of personal commercial considerations.
You will no doubt be aware that in Cudeca Hospice we are facing a serious financial crisis due to the high cost of the special care, given without charge, to patients in our In-Patient Unit. Since we opened this unit in July 2005, the donations received do not cover the expense of running this service. In 2007 the deficit was 600,000€ and unless there is a turn-around in income we will have no alternative but to close this important part of our palliative care programme at the end of this year.
The total number of patients that we have treated to the end of 2007 is 5,000. We have taken this figure as our target to attract 5,000 annual donors giving 10€ (or more) a month. This may sound an optimistic vision, but Cudeca evolved from such optimism plus hard work and dedication by hundreds of supporters.
Through the years I have come to know most people in the media field, either through the Press Club or personal interviews. Our success has been achieved because of the public awareness you have given to our project. I know how proud you are of the success of Cudeca and I am asking if you can find free space to print one of the 3 ads attached. If you can give us one hit it will be great, if you can repeat in future issues it would be fantastic. If you can help it would be nice to add your name - XXXXX Support Cudeca.
Whatever you can do will be deeply appreciated, especially by the patients and families who may be facing the loss of this special service.
The other programmes of Cudeca will continue, Home Care, Day Car, Counselling, Psychological and Bereavement support, etc.
We will be issuing progress reports on this campaign and in the meantime send our heartfelt thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Joan Hunt, OBE
President & Founder,
Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice.
