Despite these challenges, Mother’s Choice has remained committed to global best practice and protecting vulnerable children, including being one of the few residential homes still admitting in children, working closely with the Hospital Authority to provide resources for the surge of young girls seeking help with a crisis pregnancy, sourcing and providing protective gear for hundreds of immune-suppressed children, and supporting struggling foster families with limited resources who are not able to support schooling.
Since they first launched their appeal two weeks ago, the team at Mother’s Choice has received encouraging messages and support from all over the world along with amazing stories, including children who donated their birthday money, teenagers who gave their babysitting wages, families who gave because their own family or friends were adopted or fostered, and people impacted directly by COVID-19 who still chose to give. On Mother’s Day, Mother’s choice patron Purviz Shroff generously announced that all donations made up until Father’s Day (21 June) will be matched up to $7 million. Hear from CEO Alia Eyres herself as she details the latest updates regarding their campaign.
