A huge thank you to our wonderful friends Susan and Barbara! 🧁

These two incredible ladies showed up once more with the most delicious and beautifully crafted Easter cupcakes, treating our team to a little moment of joy that truly made the day extra special.

What makes this even more meaningful is knowing that Susan and Barbara had already been spreading that same kindness and generosity at their complex and still chose to come and share with us too. That kind of thoughtfulness doesn't go unnoticed, and it means the world to every single one of us here.

Thank you ladies! We are so lucky to have friends like you.

In a world where our staff pour their hearts into caring for patients and families during life's most tender moments, it means the world to us when our community shows up for them in return.

We're so incredibly grateful to AKD Compliance and RiskKey Consulting for their beautiful and thoughtful gesture. They delivered a delightful box of cookies to our very own founder and CEO, Tersia and our dedicated Stepping Stone team.

Thank you AKD for thinking of us.

What a beautiful Saturday at Bracken City Shopping Centre. This past weekend, we gathered with the most incredible community to stand alongside our brave young warriors - the children in our care who face life-limiting illnesses with a courage that humbles us every single day.

From the smiles, the kind words, the generous donations, and every single cupcake sold, you showed up and it meant the world to us and to the little ones we care for.

A very special thank you to Bracken City for once again opening their doors and their hearts to us and special thanks to our staff and volunteers. Your generosity makes it possible for us to reach more people in our community. And of course Victor was in his element.

Every rand raised goes directly towards ensuring that our youngest patients are surrounded by love, comfort and care. That is the promise we make to every child and every family who walks through our doors.

Behind every tiny smile in our Children's Unit is a team of extraordinary people who pour their whole hearts into the smallest, most meaningful details and today, we want to shine a light on one of those details that means the world to our little ones.

Every single day, our dedicated nurses and care workers take the time to lovingly prepare and puree nutritious, healthy meals for our youngest patients. It may sound like a simple act, but for these precious babies and children, it's nourishment and it's love in its purest form.

For children in palliative care, proper nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining strength, supporting immune function, and enhancing quality of life. Carefully prepared pureed meals ensure that even the most vulnerable little bodies receive the vitamins, minerals, and energy they need, in a way that is safe, gentle, and suited to their unique needs. Our team does this with such tenderness and dedication, day in and day out, without hesitation.

To our nurses and care workers - you are seen, you are appreciated, and you are deeply valued. Thank you for treating every child as if they were your own. Thank you for staying late, for going the extra mile, and for bringing warmth into spaces that can sometimes feel very heavy. You are the heartbeat of Stepping Stone and we're endlessly grateful for you.

Supporting our Children's Unit takes more than love - it takes resources, and that's where our incredible community comes in. Your generous donations go directly toward fresh, nutritious ingredients for daily meal preparation in our Children's Unit/Adult IPU, medical supplies, and day-to-day operational costs of keeping our doors open.

Every rand donated makes a real, tangible difference in the life of a patient who needs us most.

Meet Sr Nomsa Shaba, she said: "The Stepping Stone team is more than just colleagues; we are a family who lifts one another up, and together we strive to bring comfort, dignity, and compassion to every patient in our care."

Our hearts were truly touched when Ute paid us a visit to drop off the most beautiful donation of hand-knitted blankets, lovingly made by the incredible Witgoud Group of Alberton West Dutch Reformed Church.

Every stitch in these blankets tells a story of generosity and a community that truly cares. For our patients, who often face their most vulnerable and difficult days, receiving something so tenderly handcrafted is about far more than just warmth. It is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and surrounded by love, even from people they may never meet.

To Ute, and to every single member of the Witgoud Group - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The time, care, and dedication that went into each and every blanket does not go unnoticed.

We are so grateful to have recently received a generous donation of 33 Kangaroo ePump Enteral Feeding Sets.

And while we truly appreciate the kindness behind this gift, these sets are specifically designed for use with the Kangaroo ePump or Kangaroo Joey pumps, which means we are unfortunately not able to put them to use in our care setting. Rather than let them sit unused, we would love to see them go to someone who truly needs them.

If your organisation, facility, or loved one uses a Kangaroo ePump or Kangaroo Joey pump and could benefit from these sets, please reach out to our Clinical Manager, Sr Margi Bollman, directly on 071 899 9745 from Monday. We would be more than happy to pass them on at no cost.

As Easter draws near, a time of hope and compassion, we were deeply touched by a beautiful visit from the Doxa Deo Cherish group, a wonderful women’s ministry from Doxa Deo Meyersdal.

Their kindness was felt in every thoughtful detail, from the delicious treats prepared for our hardworking staff to the generous grocery donations for our patients and their families.

But beyond what they brought in their hands, it was what they carried in their hearts that made the biggest impression.

The Doxa Deo Cherish group have shown up for us time and time again. They have continued to support us, pouring love and care into our patients and staff in ways that mean more than words can express. We are truly, deeply grateful for everything they do. Thank you very much ladies!
