NEW Snow Leopard Ward Thanks to the generosity of people like you, children who need help breathing to stay alive are benefiting from a new ward which has been specially designed with their needs in mind. Snow Leopard, Evelina London’s long-term ventilation unit, has been partly funded by £1 million from thousands of Evelina London supporters like you. Snow Leopard is a smaller, more homely environment with play and therapy rooms. The ward has specialist staff and carers who can help train parents to use the breathing equipment safely so they can eventually go home. Lucy, a mother of a patient, said: ‘There is more personal space here compared to the other ward Noah was on before, so we can have private family moments when we need to. At Snow Leopard there is a real feeling of home.’ You can help support great facilities like Snow Leopard and get your hands on a Snowy the Snow Leopard if you donate more than £50! supportevelina.org.uk/snowleopard 5
