A generous donation from a Powassan family is set to make a significant impact on the Nipissing Serenity Hospice.
The family, who wishes to remain anonymous, has donated $100,000 to the hospice, which provides end-of-life care to individuals and their families in the Nipissing region.
The donation was made in memory of a loved one who received care at the hospice before passing away.
“We are forever grateful for the compassionate care our loved one received at the Nipissing Serenity Hospice,” said the family in a statement. “We wanted to give back and support this important organization that provides comfort and support to those in their final days.”
The donation will go towards the hospice’s ongoing operations and will help provide essential services such as pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and bereavement care.
“We are incredibly grateful for this generous donation from the Powassan family,” said Nipissing Serenity Hospice Executive Director, Lisa Piccolo. “Their support will help us continue to provide compassionate care to those in need and make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.”
The Nipissing Serenity Hospice, which opened in 2018, relies heavily on community support and donations to continue its important work. The hospice provides care to individuals with life-limiting illnesses, regardless of their ability to pay.
“We are fortunate to have such a caring and supportive community,” said Piccolo. “Donations like this one allow us to continue providing quality end-of-life care to those who need it most.”
The Powassan family’s donation is a testament to the impact the hospice has on the community and the gratitude felt by those who have experienced its services firsthand.
The Nipissing Serenity Hospice is a vital resource for individuals and families facing end-of-life care, and this generous donation will help ensure its continued success in providing comfort and support during difficult times.
