Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in October. This campaign has closed, but we are grateful for your support!
There are only 10 days left to donate to The CARE Project! We are so grateful for the support we have received thus far and would love to make this last week of Crowdfunding our best week yet! As a reminder, The CARE Project is comprised of Art Therapists, Reiki practitioners, and volunteers!
Volunteers are an integral part of UC Davis Medical Center. Your donation will directly support The CARE Project's volunteer program and all the amazing work they do for our patients. For this week's update, we are honored to be able to highlight a few of our talented volunteers!
The CARE Project is thrilled to announce we have exceeded 30% of our goal thanks to the generous donations of 24 donors! Funds generated from this campaign will create programs promoting the health and wellness of UC Davis patients. At UC Davis Medical Center, we strive to honor the cultures and traditions unique to our patients. The CARE Project uses donor funds to host special events, celebrating holidays important to patients and their families. This year, we have celebrated Father's Day, Fourth of July, Rosh Hashanah, and Indigenous Peoples' Day. In the upcoming months, we look forward to honoring Diwali, Dia de los Muertos, Veteran's Day, Hmong New Year, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwawnza and more!
We are currently at 14% of our goal thanks to the generosity of 14 donors! Your support empowers The CARE Project to host therapeutic groups and special events for patients at UC Davis Medical Center, such as "Growing with CARE" a weekly art therapy support group for antepartum mothers. Here, mothers who are admitted for the hospital for close observation can receive emotional and social support before they welcome their little ones.
Next week, we look forward to celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day with our patients! Remember, there is still time to donate, and every amount helps us support our patients with dignity and empathy!
Stress balls can be used to cope with anxiety and stress. Your donation will provide stress balls for patients on the oncology unit. Often, patients take these stress balls home with them upon discharge because they have found them so helpful!
This donation provides art materials for weekly art therapy support group for antepartum mothers who are admitted to the hospital for prolonged stays before their baby is born. In this group, mothers can meet each other, receive social support, and engage in a self-expressive art directive to help process emotions.
Reiki is a non-pharmacological form of pain management which uses energy healing to help a patient cope with physical, emotional, and spiritual distress. This donation will fund a bedside Reiki session for one of our patients.
It is hard to be in the hospital, especially during holidays. Help The CARE Project host a special event, celebrating a cultural or national holiday significant to our patients. Your gift will go towards providing items such as donuts for dads on Father's Day!
CARE Carts are activity carts found on all adult units. Your donation will fully stock a Cart with art materials, diversional items, adaptive tools and more for patients to use while they are in the hospital.
