Posted on Monday, August 21, 2023 — No comments
Is a new mobile phone at the top of your Christmas list?
Have you thought about what to do with your old phone? Instead of leaving it at the back of a drawer to be forgotten, why not donate it to Simpal!
Simpal is a brilliant charity that provides FREE pre-paid SIM cards and mobile phones (when available) to those living with cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can bring stress and uncertainty as well as loneliness and isolation. When the financial impact of a cancer diagnosis starts to strike, one of the first things people are forced to sacrifice is mobile communication.
"We are currently supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society, from families with young children living with cancer, to older people who have never used a mobile device previously. ‘Cancer poverty’ is something affecting more people every week."
It is critical for those living with cancer to be able to maintain connection and contact with others. Mobile communication allows people to stay in touch with their friends and family, share news and updates as well as stay connected with health care professionals and medical support networks.
SimPal aims to beat cancer loneliness, isolation and digital disconnection by providing people with FREE pre-paid SIM cards and mobile phones. SimPal relies on phone donations to continue its incredible life changing work.
