Hot Cares Christmas: Supporting Magda’s comfort and independence

Loading player...

This Hot Cares Christmas, we’re honored to support Magda Smit, a remarkable woman living with rigid spine muscular dystrophy. Despite her challenges, Magda remains a source of strength and inspiration, supported by her incredible 88-year-old mother, Susanna.

With chronic pain and the need for constant medical care, their journey hasn’t been easy. This festive season, we’re stepping in to provide Magda with an electric bed, servicing for her ventilator, and a special Christmas shopping voucher to bring joy to their home.
