Hospice Muskoka–Andy’s House has launched a $35,000 donation-matching challenge.
Officials say the challenge, which will run until Jan. 8, was initiated by an anonymous donor with a personal connection to Andy’s House and comes at a ‘critical time’.
“We are calling on the community to help us reach this goal,” say officials. “With a 55 per cent decrease in donations this December, the matching challenge comes at a critical time for Hospice Muskoka–Andy’s House.”
“This financial gift is not only a meaningful way to honour the loss of a loved one, it is a call to action,” said Donna Kearney, Executive Director of Hospice Muskoka. “By matching this donation, the community can help us continue providing care and support to those impacted by death and illness.”
Andy’s House has provided palliative care in a home-like setting for local residents and families since 2020.
“Together, let’s honour the legacy of love and compassion that inspires this challenge and ensure Hospice Muskoka can continue providing Palliative Care to our community,” say officials.
