Volunteers dropped by today… and what a day it turned out to be ❤️

With more and more donated toys coming in, the center needed some serious tidying up — and our village showed up. Old and young, all hands on deck, contributing their sweat, time, and amazing organizing skills to help us make sense of it all.

A special shoutout to the Medik-Link Sabah Sdn Bhd team — our equipment support partners — who didn’t just come with manpower 💪🏻💪🏻 to move and reorganize heavy medical equipment.
They went far beyond that.
Windows wiped. Fans cleaned. Corners we didn’t even notice — taken care of.
And they’re not stopping here. They’re already planning another trip to help calibrate, charge, and check every piece of equipment 🥰
This is what “it takes a village” looks like.
Not just doing what’s needed — but giving more than expected.
Grateful, always. 💙

Today, something quietly powerful happened. 💙

Our caregivers—who give so much of themselves every single day—were given a space to pause, learn, share, and be supported through our Caregiver Workshop.

This meaningful session would not have been possible without the generous support of MPMS, who sponsored the workshop, Palliative Care Association Kota Kinabalu for sponsoring venue and Malaysian Association of Paediatric Palliative Care who continues to develop the programme and provide our caregivers with a Paediatric Palliative Care guidebook—an important companion in their caregiving journey.

We are deeply grateful to our multidisciplinary volunteer team—pharmacists, physiotherapists, dental team, social worker, PPC doctor, and nurses —who gave their time and expertise so generously. Your willingness to show up and share makes a real difference.

A special thank you to our nurses and MCHKK volunteers who stepped in to care for the children and their siblings during the session. Because of you, caregivers were able to attend with peace of mind—this is what true respite care looks like.

It takes a village 🏘
And today, we saw that village in action.

🩵 So proud of our young advocate, Elliana.

During her recent visit to Sabah, Elliana spent time with us at Malaysian Children’s Hospice Kota Kinabalu (MCH KK) as part of her short voluntary work experience — and she didn’t stop there.

All the way in Johor, together with her friends, she took the initiative to organise a small fundraising effort in support of MAPPAC. From learning… to showing up… to taking action — this is what advocacy truly looks like. ✨

Thank you to Kensington Green Specialist Centre for supporting this meaningful cause and nurturing such compassionate young changemakers.

🌱 It takes a village — and we’re grateful to have voices like Elliana in ours.

🧸 BuddyBear Update — 100 Hearts, 100 Smiles 🧸

We’re so happy to share that we’ve reached 100 BuddyBear adoptions 💙

From a simple idea of comfort, BuddyBear has now found its way into the arms of many children — bringing smiles, companionship, and a little bit of courage on difficult days.

Some of our BuddyBears have made their journey to the paediatric palliative care unit in Kuching, and soon, more will be shared with children in Sandakan 🫶

Because sometimes, it’s not just about medical care —
it’s about having someone to hold on to.

Thank you for being part of this village.
Every BuddyBear carries your love forward 🧸✨

💭 Ever wondered what your donation can truly bring?
💭 What if your kindness could bring comfort to a child in need?

Your support helps fund essential medical equipment for children under palliative care — from oxygen machines to feeding pumps and wheelchairs.
These are daily necessities that bring comfort, dignity, and hope to both the children and their families.

Every contribution counts, and for transparency, estimated costs are shared in the poster.

✨ 𝐍𝐓𝐏 𝐊𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 — 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐨, 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐨!

From 27–30 March, we had the privilege of conducting the National Training Programme (NTP) in Kuching with 24 dedicated participants — doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who showed up with heart, curiosity, and commitment.
And the energy? 🔥

Healthcare providers here are soooo ready 💙
And beyond that, the local community is stepping up, reaching out, and wanting to help 🫶

This is what it means to build care beyond hospitals —
a whole community moving together.

🧸💙 BuddyBear Sets Delivered with Love

We’re grateful to have delivered 5 BuddyBear Companion Sets to the Paediatric Palliative Care team led by Dr Nickson Tai at Sarawak General Hospital.

Each BuddyBear carries more than just a soft cuddle —
it brings comfort, companionship, and a little moment of calm for children going through difficult journeys.

Through the hands of dedicated healthcare teams, these small bears become part of a child’s story —
a quiet friend during treatments, a source of courage, and a reminder that they are not alone. 💙

Thank you to the team for the incredible work you do every day.
And to our supporters — every bear you help send out, carries hope, love, and care. 🫶

Can’t wait to see how the spirit and creativity of KIS will bring this wheelchair to life for the Borneo International Marathon! Keep your eyes peeled for the wheelchair with an artistic makeover at the 3km Special Olympic Walk, joined by paediatric palliative patients. We sincerely thank the KIS team for taking up this meaningful project to help bring awareness to PPC everywhere. 💙💙
