URGENT HELP NEEDED
A Message from the Executor Director of the Grey-Bruce Hospice:
I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and in good health. As essential service providers, we are closely following all of the government Coronavirus guidelines for the safety of our residents, families, employees and the Grey-Bruce Community.
The Grey-Bruce Hospice is a vitally important service in our community and we need your help to assist with the financial challenge we face during the Coronavirus outbreak.
We are asking for donations to help support our Grey Bruce Community Hospice via our fundraising page.
If you are not able to donate, we understand it's a difficult time and ask you to further the cause by sharing our message with friends and family.
This unprecedented time has created plenty of concerns for individuals and businesses who struggle to make ends meet and to pay their bills. Many not-for-profit organizations like ours have also been impacted with the struggle to safely deliver essential services.
As The Grey-Bruce Hospice was built by our community for our community, our funds are only raised within our community.
That is why the greatest challenge facing The Grey Bruce Hospice during the Coronavirus outbreak is our inability to do our regular fundraising activities. Activities like Casino Night at Legacy Ridge and Hike for Hospice that raise 200k+ per year.
What you may not know is that these funds are essential to cover 51% of our costs which are not covered by the government. Meeting our fundraising goals allows us to ease the final journey of over 750 within our community since our doors opened.
Today, even though we receive funding for 8 licensed beds, at any given point in time we have a waiting list of 20 or more people referred by their physician for hospice palliative care. Hospice frees up important hospital beds that at a time like now are in short supply.
Therefore I again ask if you are able - please donate either on-line by:
Clicking on this link: Donate to Chapman House
Phone: call Amy at 519-370-7239 extension 105
Mail a cheque to: Chapman House, 1725 10th St. E. Owen Sound On N4K 0G5 attention: Amy.
If you have any further questions, please call Amy at 519-370-7239 extension 105.
