As the world gears up for Giving Tuesday, a global movement celebrating generosity and community spirit, it's a perfect moment to reflect on how our actions can make a profound difference locally. Originating as a simple idea—encouraging people worldwide to do good—Giving Tuesday has blossomed into a powerful force for change, supporting countless charities and non-profits.
For organizations like Margaret Bahen Hospice, this day represents an opportunity to rally support and continue providing exceptional care to those in their final days.
Margaret Bahen Hospice's mission is a commitment to comfort and dignity. The impact of this mission is illustrated by stories like Janis’, who shared her experience of spending her sister Lisa's final days at the hospice. Despite the heartbreak of losing Lisa at just 58, Janis found solace in the warm, welcoming environment of Margaret Bahen Hospice, where Lisa's needs were met with compassion and care.
Janice shares, “My sister was sick for a long time, but nothing can really prepare you for the end of someone’s life. Thankfully, we had the gift of spending Lisa’s final days with her at Margaret Bahen Hospice. Being able to stay with Lisa 24 hours a day was a priceless gift, as we knew she would never have to be alone for even one minute during her final days.”
She continues, “I didn’t really know what to expect from a hospice, but I quickly learned that Margaret Bahen Hospice was special. The space was inviting, everybody was incredibly kind, and Lisa had what she needed to be comfortable. That gave us tremendous peace of mind.”
Janice shares her message of providing support, based on what she witnessed firsthand.
“Until we talked to the staff at Margaret Bahen Hospice, I had no idea how much the hospice relies on donor support. So many of the things that brought us comfort during Lisa’s final days were there because of supporters like you, and we are so deeply appreciative!”
