Dear Ms. Shore:
Thank you for supporting the 15″ Annual Walk for Hospice. Your generous gift-in-kind donation of a gift certificate, which you valued at $25.00, sends a clear message to our patients, their families, and Hospice caregivers that you, too, care about human dignity and compassion.
The Walk raises funds so that Hospice of the South Shore can provide special care for terminally ill patients and their families during a sensitive and important time of life. A team of caring professionals teaches family members how to comfort and care for their loved one and for each other. Hospice also offers bereavement counseling for children, siblings, parents, and friends. All of these services are provided regardless of the patient’s or family’s ability to pay.
The Walk is a very public expression of this love and appreciation, as you can see from these remembrances placed on the Wall of Memories:
“Angels are surely here on earth in the loving form of Hospice workers! Love & Thanks.”
“It’s been 16 years since I lost my mother to cancer, but the pleasant memories of her Hospice nurses are still fresh in my mind. Thank You. ”
This is why your support is so appreciated.
The IRS asks that we tell you that no goods or services were provided in exchange for this donation.
On behalf of our Hospice patients and their families, thank you for sponsoring this important local cause.
Sincerely,
Edith Millard
Philanthropy Officer
Hospice of the South Shore
