A donation means a lot to a ‘recipient’. They are in an unfortunate financial position in life compounded by their health problems. The items we have donated for the bank help them to fit into society and everyday life a little better therefore making it easier for them to ‘blend in’. They also give them more self-confidence which helps to fight their health issues.
On behalf of the recipients, we would like to thank very much the people who generously donated their items. The bank can always use more.
If you are in need of this type of assistance, please contact Bea Faraklas, 613-536-0180.
