Founder of Hearts of Gold Children Hospice, Mrs. Laja Adedoyin, said she looks after 68 children with different levels of disabilities, explaining that some disabilities can see and some cannot be seen.
“There are children born with severe deformities. One of the things we do here is to give them palliative care. We make life easier for them, even though we know we cannot do it all. Some of these conditions can be addressed with surgeries, while some we cannot do anything,” she said.
She said support from individuals and organisations such as SNF Food has continued to sustain the Hospice. She commended the SNF team and encouraged other organisations to emulate what they are doing.
