Why did Lottoland choose the Andries Oliver Durbanville Quadriplegic Centre to support?
House Olivier offer full-time accommodation and care to adult quadriplegics and paraplegics. Most of our residents are people who became wheelchair users as a result of a catastrophic spinal cord injury at some stage in their lives.
Where we are different from other facilities is that the centre is run by the residents themselves. We do not have a matron, nursing sister or manager. Each resident has an important role regarding the management and day-to-day running of the house for which they must take full responsibility. An idea of some of the portfolios are: staff representative, kitchen representative, person in charge of maintenance, person in charge of the garden, person in charge of dealing with the Department of Social Development, person in charge of the vehicles etc. Each resident serves on the management committee which meets once a month. There are a few volunteers from the community on the management committee as well but by and large the major/important decisions are made by the residents.
In addition to the above all residents are expected to play a major part in fundraising initiatives. The reality is that our running costs exceeds our monthly budget. We have a monthly shortfall of around 25%
Involvement in both of the above is not negotiable, each resident MUST be very involved otherwise the centre will face definite closure. Working as a team has helped the residents who stay in the centre achieve a real level of independence and integration into the community.
A few examples of the personal growth of some of the residents is: 2 residents and 3 former residents are mouth painters whom are members of The Mouth And Foot Painters Association and have collectively painted well over a 1000 paintings over the past 2 decades. 2 other residents have full-time jobs, one at The Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre and the other as the Project Manager at QAWC. Most of the residents has at some point done some form of studies or have it planned as part of their independent development.
Being a part of AODQC has given the residents a second chance at living and not just existing. For this reason every resident has no issue with doing the work required to keep the doors of our centre open.

Why did Lottoland choose “Shake and Bake / Help Markus to go to America” to support?
Our son, Markus, was diagnosed with Spastic Cerabral Palsy at 14 months. We have since been searching for every possible resource to create the best possible life for him. He can crawl but is unable to walk due to his spasms and balance.
We came across Dr Park at St Louis Children's hospital and found that he is the only neurosurgeon in the world that's willing to remove 70% of all spasticity. In order to make this big decision we have come to realize the term "it takes a village" all too well.
We need your help to get Markus to Dr Park and give him a chance to walk! His surgery will give him that chance and we will do everything in our power to make sure he gets it.
