Dear All,

Tuesday, 15th December 2015: In continuation of our Christmas Outreach, Team Benola visited Hearts of Gold Children's Hospice, where we made a generous donation of food items and toiletries. On arrival, we were warmly received by the Founder, Mrs Laja Adedoyin, a warm and very affectionate lady with a heart of gold who runs a disciplined and well maintained establishment. After a short brief in her office Mrs Adedoyin who was visibly excited that Benola was visiting the home for the second time in 2015 personally conducted us round the hostels where we visited with an amazing array of children with very unique malformations.

Situated at Plot 75 Alhaji Masha Road, Onilegogoro, Surulere, Lagos State, Hearts of Gold or HOG as it is popularly known has been in existence since 2003 and remains the first and only children’s hospice in Nigeria that caters to the increasing number of abandoned and orphaned children aged between 6months to 13 years who are suffering from a vast range of severe congenital, physical and mental disabilities. For children with terminal and other life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses the hospice offers comfortable, caring and loving environment. They also provide palliative and respite care services.

The visit was quite fulfilling and we certainly look forward to more interactions with Hearts of Gold in the near future. Meanwhile photographs from the visit are attached for your information.
