Banksia Palliative Care Service Inc.Banksia Supporters
Palliative Care teams work quietly – we make a difference in the lives of our clients and carers every day. We do not seek, nor expect acknowledgement, and as we are reminded regularly that palliative care is not a widely known service in the community, when people do acknowledge the work we do, it is all the more special.
At Banksia, we invest every dollar donated into making our clients’ lives better. We believe that when people donate they want to have a direct impact, and so we use the money to help our clients and carers, who are often experiencing significant financial burden related to lose of income and mounting medical expenses. Donations pay for medications, or utilities, especially electricity, or transportation to and from medical appointments, or equipment and medical supplies, or respite services – whatever our clients need.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to the following supporters – your generosity and interest makes a difference.
