“It is such a simple act of kindness to offer a comfortable chair to sit in or a comfortable bed to lie on for the family struggling with the realization that their loved one is dying. The long hours of the vigil can be made more tolerable if there is physical comfort for the body.” Karen Wagner, Program Coordinator, Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care
Donations can be designated to any of the projects above. Thank you for helping to make a difference at this difficult time! Your support matters.
