Water security is something we can't take for granted at Hospice Bloemfontein — and thanks to Prowlers, we're a little more prepared. They've generously donated another Dojo tank, giving our patients and the wider Siesta community extra peace of mind for those days when the taps run dry.
Every drop matters when you're caring for people at their most vulnerable. Thank you, Prowlers, for thinking of us and stepping up before we even had to ask.

What does quality of life mean, when illness has taken so much?
It's a question we sit with every day in palliative care. Because our work isn't only about managing symptoms — it's about finding that spot where a patient still feels alive. Where, even for a moment, the illness fades into the background.
For some, that spot is surrounded by family. For others, it's outside, in nature. For some, it's simply feeling loved and appreciated, without needing to say a word.
For one of our patients in the unit right now, it's his clivias.
His face lights up the moment he starts talking about them — how he cultivates them, how patient the process is, how long the wait can be. One of his plants grew from a seed he planted almost six years ago. This week, in his room, it stands in bloom.
He didn't know if he'd still be here to see it. He is. And it is.
That's what quality of life looks like, in the end. Not the absence of illness, but the presence of something that still makes you feel like yourself — a bloom you waited six years for, opening right when you needed it to.

Today we're saying thank you to SAG Motor Group, whose generosity works quietly in the background of every car sale they make. A portion of their profit goes directly into a community project — which means every customer who drives away in a new car has, without even realising it, also helped care for someone in our community who needs it most.
That's the kind of giving we love: built into everyday business, not an afterthought. It means a patient in our care doesn't have to worry about whether they can afford dignity in their final months. It means a family gets support they didn't have to ask twice for.
To SAG Motor Group and every customer who chose to buy from them — thank you for being part of something bigger than a transaction.

There's a corner at Hospice now where the noise of illness goes quiet for a moment — the Troostuin. Family members sit there after hard conversations, just to breathe. Patients are wheeled out to feel the sun. It's a small garden, but it holds a lot.
We owe that space, and so much more, to the generosity of the Baptiste Church in Bloemfontein.
Their donation didn't just build a garden. It means we can care for patients who have no way to pay for the care they receive, without turning anyone away at the door. It means our doors stay open — to the private patient and the patient with nothing, side by side, cared for the same way. And it means we can keep improving the building itself, room by room, so that everyone living here has a home that is safe and dignified, not just functional.
We don't have the words to properly thank a gift like that. So we'll just keep doing what it made possible: caring, fully, for whoever walks through our doors.
Thank you, Baptist Church Bloemfontein. 🙏

E-Sienna Life Landscaping het die Smartstone plaveisel borg, wat in die Troostuin vir Hospice gebruik is, moontlik gemaak. E-Sienna Life Landscaping het arbeid betaal en geskenk om al die Smartstone Plaveisel op palette by die fabriek te pak en het die vervoer skenking gekry om die plaveisel vanaf die fabriek na Hospice te vervoer en af te laai. Dit is jammer dat dit van sprekend aanvaar word dat slegs een besigheid of instansie bedank word nadat ‘n ander Landskap besigheid meeste van die Smartstone produkte se skenking moontlik gemaak het en dat Smartstone produkte saam met ‘concrete crushed stone’ gebruik word by ‘n instandie wat kwaliteit diens nastreef.
