Not only is Friday Brexit Day but it is also the 25th Anniversary of the first meeting of Help International Benidorm. To celebrate this a lunch was organised at Restaurante Mitico en La Cala.
Help Benidorm has aquired Oxygen Concentrator for short term loan so visitors no longer need to hire one at great expense
Following several requests from people coming on holiday to Benidorm for an oxygen concentrator and the fact that it had to be hired at great expense to take sick people back to the UK.To hire one commercially it is about 450 euros a week with a 1,300 Euro deposit. We have decided to purchase our own machine for short term loan. It is a Respironics Evergo and is dual use either portable or mains operated for use overnight. Our nurse Jackie will supply it with all accessories. If anyone needs to loan it please call her on +34 607 386 964 or leave a message on our contact page.
