Brenda was born in NRGH and was a very sick baby. In fact, when she was 6 days old, her family’s pastor came in to baptize Brenda as she wasn’t expected to live through the night. That next morning, her condition changed, and she has gone on to live a full life with two children of her own. When she was out with her husband and saw the fabric with phrases like “you are so brave” she said she just knew she was meant to make these into quilts for children in our hospital as a way to practice gratefulness. These special quilts will go to our smallest of patients.

The amazing team at Tim Horton’s was at it again! Last week they visited the Oceanside Health Centre to bring coffee and snacks to our front line workers. This year Tim Horton’s has donated more than 110,000 coffees and baked goods to essential workers across the country. What a great way to give back!
