Light a Light in memory of a loved ones
On Friday 15th December from 18h. we will celebrate our most endearing event of the year, "Light a Light in memory of loved ones" at our Cudeca Centre located in Avda. del Cosmos, s/n., Benalmádena
A very special moment to remember the people who are no longer with us but who remain in our hearts forever; and to raise funds so that they can continue caring for people with cancer and other advanced illnesses; and offering support to their families.
Light a Light in a memory of a loved one now at www.lightupcudeca.org
On this special day, a light will be dedicated to the memory of a loved one, there will be performances by the CEIP Miguel Hernández children's choir, the Sunny View School children's choir and the Ana Mª Tineo dance academy, as well as the famous charity raffle, Christmas sweets and many other surprises. Likewise, the foundation will officially switch on the Christmas lights of the centre together with the candles of the assistants dedicated to their loved ones.
On the other hand, during December 2023 and January 2024 it will be possible to dedicate a light in memory of a loved one both on the website www.lightupcudeca.org and in our charity shops throughout the province of Malaga.
This year "Light a Light" is even more special because the funds raised will be used to maintain 2 of its 9 home care teams, which assist an average of 400 patients a year, during 2024.
Increase in patients at the end of life
In the last 10 years, the number of people we care for annually has increased to almost 250%. This is from 727 in 2012 to 1,800 in 2022.
In 2023, we had to create two more Home Care Teams, numbers 8 and 9, still we do not have sufficient funds to maintain them in 2024.
Help us to maintain 2 Home Care Teams made of medical and nursing specialists, covering also the costs of their 2 vehicles.
With your support, we can:
- Care for and accompany more people at the end of life. The 2 new teams will be able to care for an average of 400 patients a year and support more than 800 relatives/carers.
- Increase the quality of care. We seek to dedicate even more quality time to each patient and their family.
