Hello Duggan & Rideau Park residents. See message below from a local fundraiser. Thanks.
"Hi, my name is Melissa and I am a high school student at Harry Ainlay with dreams of being a nurse one day. Nurses right now are climbing mountains with compassion and grit day in and day out. To help them as they continue to make life-saving differences, I am putting together self-care packages for the ICU nurses at The University of Alberta's hospital. However there are 150 nurses per day and I need your help to be able to give as many of them these kits as we can. We are taking donations of the following items:
-Clif Bars (you can get a 12 pack of Chocolate Chip for $12.97 or a 12 pack of Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt for $16.47 at Walmart...no peanut ones please as they are a high allergen, thanks!)
-juice boxes
-fruit snacks
-Mr. Noodles In A *Cup* Chicken Flavor
-mini chocolate bars
- some squishy stress balls (with smiles-they come in a 2-pack) from Dollarama
-or any amount of money to go towards Glysomed lotion bottles that I have arranged a special price for at London Drugs
Any of the above would be greatly appreciated to help bring a bit of cheer to our nurses working long and emotionally draining shifts! You can drop the items off at the Duggan Community Hall Center (3728 106 Street) on Wednesday, September 29th from 6 to 7 pm. and then I and some friends will be putting together the packages, complete with uplifting quotes and notes of gratitude for their efforts.
Sincerely,
Melissa " ... See more
