Roch Trok has been a patient of Father Dutkiewicz Hospice in Gdańsk for a year and a half. He was taken ill two years ago but for the time being doctors came to a standstill again. Nobody knows what seems to be the trouble, however, his condition still requires the full care of the whole staff and the usage of the expensive equipment. The Hospice Foundation asked his parents a favour to voice their approval for Roch's participation in the advertisement campaign appealing to the society to transfer 1% of their earnings tax to hospice patients.

    The International Hospice Day is an opportunity to organize ''Open Days in Hospice'' which are going to take place on 8-9.2.2012 in Łódź. The whole action was spearheaded by the Hospice Association with its seat in Łódź (Stowarzyszenie Hospicjum Łódzkie). Everyone who will visit this centre that day will be able to observe work of the staff and to obtain information concerning house care or an opportunity to borrow the equipment.

    It will be also a chance to talk about voluntary work taking action in hospice and  to join the group of volunteers. All people interested in this topic should visit the Hospice Association with its seat in Łódź, on Jaracza 55 street to obtain further information.
