Christmas Donation to the Oncology o/p comfort fund

You guys rock! I came home and counted out the donations from the club members: $345.00. That will be so appreciated by those in need.

As mentioned tonight, members had asked that the donation go to a cancer-related fund this year, and specifically to Fredericton area patients. I contacted the Oncology Department at the DECH, and Oncology Social Worker Julie Doucet suggested that we direct the funds to the Oncology o/p comfort fund.

"The oncology comfort fund is dedicated specifically to Fredericton oncology patients and is used for gas cards, assisting with cost of medications, equipment (i.e. lymphedema sleeve if they don’t have coverage for example), and other necessities as deemed appropriate.”

I will drop off the donation on Friday, and have asked that receipts be sent to the addresses on the cheques.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness,

Johanna
