Many municipal governments not only contribute to a local hospice society annually but also have a hospice house to support families that are going through the palliative care of a loved one in their final hours [“Hospice society seeks funding from qathet Regional District,” November 8].
Powell River is so far behind in this. It is quite frankly an embarrassment to our community as a whole. Every family at one point in their lives requires palliative care. A hospice house is not an option but a requirement for our region.
My family donates monthly to Four Tides Hospice Society. If people, including philanthropists who may consider a donation, realized that maybe, we as a community can help get a hospice house for our community. Everyone will benefit in the end.
