More about the "Grown-ups for children"
It all started via the social site, Twitter.com, with one goal – to change the present situation of the University Children’s Hospital in Riga. Selfless doctors with the help of kind, always mindful nurses take care of kids here daily. Unfortunately, the premises of the hospital are outdated, and there is a lack of medical equipment available. The hospital is dilapidated and in need of repair, at night it is sometimes even dangerous due to the structural integrity of the building. The government of Latvia ensures the provision of basic needs – medicine and free medical aid for children. Meanwhile, things such as treatment and housing for parents of ill-affected children go overlooked, and the government does not dedicate any extra aid to these areas.
With social support, the project “Parents’ House” has been in development since August 2009. The funds to build the house have already been collected. The next step is to construct the house so parents can stay with their kids during their recovery period.
The main focus of this campaign is that each “Grown-up” can help kids in any way he or she wants. Whether it’s financial or moral support, we can make the place better when we join hands. Everyone is welcome to support the hospital with various goods which can be helpful to make the place better such as furniture, toys, office supplies, catering etc. No less important are the various activities which can make the gloomy atmosphere more colorful. Concerts, performances and volunteer programs can make a great help to boost the patients’ spirit while they wait in recovery. Time after time, various activities are organized around the hospital. Everyone can join!
“Grown-ups for children” is neither a social institution nor marketing campaign. It’s not even an intermediate to collect donations. Its main target is to inform the society about the poor situation and needs of the children’s hospital. The program wants to encourage people to help by implementing projects that are not supported by the Latvian government.
