A generous donation has been made to Mission Memorial Hospital (MMH) for the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment.
Mission Health Care Auxiliary has helped to fund next-generation technologies and facility enhancements at the hospital for more than a century. The Auxiliary has helped the hospital in purchasing: blanket warmer; bariatric stretcher; scope cabinet; and different types of wheelchairs. Their continued support is rooted in their humanitarian support towards service of community. The organisation, created in the 1920s, with humble beginnings has continuously provided support to the hospital by building better health care for the people of Mission. Member of the Auxiliary leadership team Alyce Campbell echoes the long-time passion of service saying, “it is a pleasure to be part of our community, to be able to raise funds to support MMH and The Residence in Mission (TRIM)…to me, this isn’t about giving back, it’s about something I love to do, work with people”. And their support is very widely appreciated by all those in the hospital space. As Trevor King, patient ambassador at MMH, states “a thank you to the Mission Health Care Auxiliary…this is great equipment to add to our inventory to loan out to those in Mission who need it”. The Mission Health Care Auxiliary has a wonderful gift shop and thrift shop in the community of Mission that supports the hospital, and we could not be more grateful for all that they do. As the saying goes, “volunteers don’t necessarily have the time; they have the heart”. Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation relies on gifts from our community to strengthen our organisation and provide an investment for our future health and wellness.

A constant reminder that this is real and that you are dead. You lie six feet beneath me now surrounded by dirt, deliberately dressed in your favourite dress shirt. You wore that dress shirt on that dreadful night, It’s now tainted with darkness and does not look quite right. I don’t think you’d appreciate the sight. My life, much like that dress shirt, is now tainted; filled with a darkness I’ve not yet been acquainted This darkness quells any and all chances of reprieve and instead, fills me with feelings of guilt meant to deceive. I know it wasn’t my doing, but I ask myself why I could not see your plan brewing I know it wasn’t my fault, but I tell myself I could have convinced you to halt. I don’t know if what It whispers to me is true, But all I think about now are ways I could have aided you. Maybe if I’d really shared with you, just how much I really cared for you; The call wouldn’t have come through, and I could have had another day to say I love you I love you so I can only hope that somehow you know Check out the launch of Ocean Baker's streetwear line, Natsukashii ink at Rex Cox Menswear.
