Ladysmith Healthcare Auxiliary has funded various Cowichan Hospice initiatives since 2000. Specifically, since 2009 the Cowichan Hospice has recorded LHA funding of $233,050 comprising more recently donations of:
· $125,000 in 2018
· $20,000 in Sustaining Funds for Grief and Palliative Programs
· $50,000 for the Cowichan Hospice House Project in February 2019
Nairne Culver, Membership Director and Ruth Goodbody, VP attended the Cowichan Hospice Donor Appreciation Event on February 21, 2020 in Duncan. All were warmly welcomed by Zoe, Gretchen, staff and volunteers and together enjoyed a selection of refreshments, sweets and savoury goodies.
Each donor was then called up to receive one of the beautiful spades used at the July 2019 sod-turning event, along with a hand written Thank You card. A feeling of welcome and gratitude was palpable. Showing interest, chatting personally and being there once again confirmed the importance of attending events such as these.
