Ramona Loxton of Hospice said: “In December 2014, our patient carrier was stolen from our locked yard which left us in a very difficult position when transporting patients to day care. We have submitted various applications for donation towards a new patient carrier but to no avail.

“Then in November last year, at the Sanlam Private Wealth Golf day, the chairperson of our Board of Directors, made contact with a very generous donor who understood our problem and within a couple of months all was organised and our new patient carrier was delivered last month,” said Loxton.
 
“The driver Wayne Arends was excited, as he was the first person to drive it, and what an excitement it was for the patients when they were transported in it. One patient commented that it was her first time away from home since the last day care in December 2015.”
 

Loxton said Hospice would like to thank the following: “Our generous donor who made it possible for us to purchase this vehicle; Tony Lyon-Lewis, our helpful volunteer fleet manager who negotiated the purchase of the vehicle and delivered it to our excited team; Nissan Knysna for their advice as to purchasing a vehicle that will meet our needs; and for Loerie Signs for fixing our logo to our van.”
