Trip to the doctors
14 Sep 2009 10:18 am
As the name of the projects suggests, the staff from the Fr. Ray Outreach Work and Drop-In Centre go into the community to offer help and assistance to those who need it. Many children live with families in very poor conditions, where families can just afford enough food for their children. Once food is paid for there is not much left to cover medical problems, and this is where our staff come in.
If we come across a child who needs medical help, we will make sure they receive the treatment they need. Recently a family of children were taken to a local medical centre for a check-up to make sure that they were all well, and once they were given a clean bill of health they stopped of at the dental centre. Within a few hours all the children were on their way home, healthy and happy.
Many families come to rely on the Father Ray Foundation for some basic help, and we believe that many children are better off living with their families, so we are very happy to help where we can.
