If you saved R2 a day for a month you will have just enough money to buy yourself half a manicure or two movie tickets. R2 doesn't sound like much but if you donated this amount regularly you could help save lives at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital. Pledge your support now.

How Your R2 a Day can Help

Currently around 750 surgical operations are performed on children at the Hospital every month. These procedures are conducted in the Hospital's original four surgical theatres, built more than 50 years ago, and include life saving operations like kidney and liver transplants, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and the treatment of burns and skin grafts.

To the children undergoing surgery it is essential that surgical teams have the best equipment available to ensure improved patient outcomes. It is for this reason that a new Operating Theatre Complex is currently under construction at the Hospital.

The Children's Hospital Trust, the fundraising arm of the Hospital are now calling for significant fundraising support in order to raise funds to purchase much needed state-of-the-art operating theatre equipment to fully furnish the new Operating Theatre Complex.

The total cost of equipping the new Operating Theatre Complex at the Hospital is around R55 million so every cent counts! 100% of funds received go directly towards supporting the Hospital.

By donating R2 a day each month you can help us purchase specialised surgical instruments required by the surgeons to perform important surgery on children.

What Your R2 will Purchase

Here are some examples of what your R2 a day (each month) could be used to purchase:

R60 pm | R720 pa	This could pay for 3 specialised forceps used in skin graft surgery on burns patients.
R100 pm | R1200 pa	This could pay for 6 artery forceps used only in neurosurgery or during intricate surgery on the brain.
R200 pm | R2400 pa	This could pay for 7 pairs of fine pointed scissors used in kidney and liver surgery.
R300 pm | R3600 pa	This could pay for 14 micro forceps used in the repair of cleft palates.

R500 pm | R6000 pa	This could pay for 12 tiny dissecting scissors used for operating on tiny hands and fingers.

R2 a day each month can mean the hope of a better future for the sick children that depend on the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital.
