Genuine Solutions donate 500 Power Banks to Ronald McDonald House Charities
During these times of uncertainties and the impact that the COVID-19 virus has had on many of us, we at Genuine Solutions wanted to help those caring for loved ones in hospital.
A number of Hospitals across the UK during the coronavirus pandemic are only allowing one parent to be with their baby and child bedside. The impact of this is that a lone parent is no longer supported in person by another parent/carer or the extended family. The importance of a fully charged mobile phone is needed now more than ever so they can stay in contact with family and to still have an opportunity to connect with their support network.
With this in mind, Genuine Solutions donated 500 Power Banks to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, these devices allow a lone parent to stay connected with their other children, family members and support networks while caring for their poorly child.
“What a great idea providing phone chargers to parents. Always my number one necessity in hospital!”
It was really touching to have recently letter of thanks for our actions from the team at Ronald McDonald House Charities expressing their gratitude for our act of kindness.
In fact, the devices were such a success, Ronald McDonald House Charities have informed us that they are now offering the power bank chargers to families and are being included within Welcome packs.
One of the parents at the Ronald McDonald Manchester House who received a power bank charger in a Welcome Pack said:
“What a great idea providing phone chargers to parents. Always my number one necessity in hospital!”
It is truly heart-warming to know that these donated devices are making a difference and are having a positive impact on the lives of those currently caring for loved ones in hospital.
