Just topped $14,000

Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital has just topped $14,000 and is gaining momentum. We are a third of the way there. Could this happen in one day??
What great community support behind the doctors, nurses, and staff at the hospital. The Friends of the GDH would like to think everyone supports the hospital and will give a little. Every donation helps no matter how small. We will accept it gracefully.

Off to an Early Start



As of 7:00 this morning gifts amount to $5430.

Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital got off to an early start. The page opened at midnight EST so was accepting donation at 10 pm MST yesterday. Gifts trickled in last night from late-night Facebook followers in Calgary and friends from the UK and the east coast. Now it’s the turn of the early risers.

 
Special thanks to Jamie Blair who was quick to follow my lead last night; Tony Danks who has remained a faithful friend of Frances and I since high school; Dave Nutter who was one of the first to befriend us when we arrived in Canada in 1973.

Peter and Helen Hawkes gifted from the UK with special thanks to the hospital for the wonderful treatment Peter received after his heart attack. Peter and Helen will be returning to Golden in December and hope to make Canada their permanent residence. I'm sure having such a great facility, the Golden & District hospital, weighed in the decision.

Thanks also to the Dusevic Family, who lost the patriarch Joe this summer, for their generosity, and to the number of donors who choose to remain anonymous.

The campaign ends on Sunday, so give your donation today and share on Facebook.
Thank you.
