The Children’s Cancer Ward at Sveta Marina Hospital in Varna, Bulgaria is undergoing urgently needed renovations with sponsorship from taxback.com.

The ward provides life saving treatment and rehabilitation facilities for 30 children with leukaemia and cancer as well as support for their families and loved ones.

The ward has been in desperate need of repair and renovation in order to provide the best care possible for these brave children.

Taxback.com is sponsoring all the construction supplies and complete renovation work for four new specially designed bathrooms in the ward that will help the children and families staying at the hospital remain comfortable during their treatment. This work is part of a complete renovation of the ward.

We will also be donating televisions and computers to help make the completed ward a comfortable and engaging place for children to stay.

“Our staff were really touched by the stories of the children and families at Sveta Marina and wanted to do as much as we could to make the ward a better place to stay,” Taxback.com’s Bulgarian senior marketing manager Olya Antonova says. “These brave children go through so much in their young lives and to be able to help in any small way to improve their treatment and recovery is wonderful.”

Our renovation work on the ward’s bathrooms has just started and is due to be completed before Christmas.

We are also pleased to announce that on December 19th taxback.com and Doctor Valeria Kaleva of Sveta Marina Hospital will be hosting a fundraising Christmas party at the ward.

We will be auctioning paintings created by the children of Sveta Marina to help raise more money to assist in the ongoing improvement of the facilities at the cancer ward.

Taxback.com and the families of Sveta Marina would like to invite anyone interested in taking part in this project or coming along to our fundraising Christmas auction to please contact our Bulgarian Senior Marketing Manager Olya Antonova on +359 887916494 or oantonova@taxback.com, or our community outreach coordinator Janine Bennetts at communityoutreach@taxback.com

“Family is so important, especially at this time of year and we encourage anyone who can to come to our Christmas fundraising auction on December 19th to help support the ward and these children who depend on it,” Antonova says.
