Global (09 April 2024) – Footprints 4 Sam is one of the beneficiaries for an international donation matching campaign. The best part is the campaign is in Dollars, which means every Dollar matched is 18 times more powerful!
The Little by Little campaign run by GlobalGiving helps organisations raise more funds for a week in April. The 2024 April Little by Little Campaign is a five-day crowdfunding campaign taking place from April 8-12. There is $200,000 available to match donations.
Footprints 4 Sam has been on the platform for three years and raised an astounding $22,000 towards paediatric care in South Africa. If you are an international donor looking to support a cause in South Africa, you can donate to Footprints 4 Sam here.
“All eligible donations up to $50 per unique donor per organization will be matched at 50% during the campaign until funds run out.”
Melissa and Fred Platt turned their personal tragedy into a way to touch and change lives in a positive way. When their son Sam passed away in 2016 at just 15 and a half months, after spending his entire short life in hospital, they founded Footprints 4 Sam, a charitable trust committed to making a meaningful difference in paediatric healthcare in South Africa.
One of their most recent projects was the upgrade of the Paediatric Outpatient Department (POPD) at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH) in Johannesburg.
There are two projects being run on the GlobalGiving profile, one is part of an R80 million project at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital.
This year Footprints 4 Sam continues with its ambitious goal of realising its Dare to Dream campaign. Footprints 4 Sam has been actively working towards raising the funds needed to renovate the neonatal ICU at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital in commemoration of the hospital’s 80 years of service. Their goal… R80 Million.
