The extensive roof damage to one of Puttinu’s London properties has forced the closure of important accommodations for Maltese undergoing medical treatment in England.
The extensive roof damage to one of Puttinu’s London-based buildings led to the closure of critical accommodations for Maltese victims undergoing treatment.
It was a devastating attack that occurred in harsh weather.
The Martin Court Building has closed three apartments due to the leakage caused by constant rain.
Damage revealed by photos posted on Facebook has led to urgent repairs and renovations, which are estimated to cost up to tens thousands of Euros and take 10 weeks.
Puttinu said to Times of Malta, that the health hazards posed by patients who reside in the facilities of the charity make this situation even more tragic.
The consequences of dampness, which can encourage the growth and spread of dust mites and mould, could be disastrous for cancer patients, who often have weakened immune system due to illness or medication such as chemotherapy.
Two first-floor and two second-floor apartment have been started. The remaining three first-floor apartments and the remainder of the second-floor apartments will be addressed in subsequent phases.
The charity has rehoused three families who were affected by these closures in other apartments. However, the wider implications are still very real.
This charity was founded in 2002 and plays an important role supporting cancer patients, their families, as well as accommodating the relatives of those who are receiving treatment overseas.
Puttinu Cares helps between 60 to 90 families per month, depending on donations and fundraisers.
Puttinu did not plan a collection for the damages, but said that the public can donate through the Puttinu Cares site.
