The Miaoli Post Office has initiated a heartwarming charity campaign, "Post Heart Connection, Eternal Love," to aid the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation in building a new hospital in Chiayi. This initiative unites all 36 of Miaoli's postal branches in a collective effort to support the foundation's mission.
Corporate responsibility lies in giving back to society. We are honored to collaborate with the Post Office and Genesis Foundation. We hope that through the pure brushstrokes of children, we can sow seeds of care and attract more companies to respond together, allowing love to continue.
Children from Qiaojiale Kindergarten kicked off the promotional event with energetic dances and a fashion show, showcasing hand-painted "house building" models. The event highlighted the community's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. Hongxing Engineering Co., Ltd. has already pledged support by donating the "house building" models for all 36 branches.
Miaoli Post Office Director Wu Zhenbin explained that the campaign will feature donation information and the children's artwork at all branch counters. This aims to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by families caring for terminally ill individuals. Donations of NT$600 for the "Build a House +1" activity or NT$1200 for in-home services are encouraged.
This activity combines the 36 branch locations under our jurisdiction. We will set up hospital construction promotional materials and display the children's painted houses at the service windows, expanding the reach of public welfare. This allows the public to understand the plight of vegetative patient families while handling their business at the counter.
Chen Lรผrong, director of the Genesis Foundation's Miaoli branch, emphasized that the new Chiayi hospital will offer crucial care resources for underprivileged terminally ill patients in southern Taiwan, easing the long-term burden on their families. The foundation continues to seek public and corporate support to complete the construction.
The construction of the Chiayi hospital will provide comprehensive care resources for impoverished vegetative patients in the south, alleviating the long-term care pressure on families. The road to building the hospital still requires continuous support from all sectors. We welcome the public and businesses to participate in public welfare, support 'Build a House +1' at NT$600 per unit, or donate NT$1200 to support in-home services.
