We are grateful to have a wide range of donors and are especially honoured when children like Fantino choose to become one of our donors too! Fantino, who is seven, donated his allowance to the Hospital Foundation as a thank you for being treated so well when he had to go to Emergency at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital in January. His donation will go towards the new Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. Fantino and his parents, Leonard and Elise, thank all the hospital staff for their care and for all their hard work and sacrifice during these difficult times. Thank you Fantino! Although we are not able to thank you in person now, we hope you will come visit us as soon as we are back in our office!
