Brynn is a 12 year old with a huge heart.
This winter she was in VGH working her way through recovery from a life threatening infection and ran a fundraiser at the same time.
Brynn decided that people had been so generous and kind in supporting her that she wanted to pay it forward though a fundraiser via the Victoria Hospital Foundation on behalf of the pediatric inpatient unit to try to get more equipment to help out the kids here.
Not only has she raised over ten thousand dollars to support her fellow Scouts in going to camp, stood up at age 10 to speak at an anti LGBTQ+ protest, and helped teach karate to younger kids for years, she also thought of others while going through this challenging time.
The Victoria Hospital Foundation (VHF) has announced a significant donation they received toward its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for the North campaign.
According to a media release, the Northern Lights Community Development Corporation (NLCDC) donated $50,000 which brings their total to $677,000 of its $2.5 million goal.
“On behalf of the NLCDC and we are proud to invest in the health of our community and in particular, our most fragile newborns born at the Victoria Hospital,” Blake Charles, general manager of NLCDC said in the release. “It is important to us to ensure that babies born in our communities, remain as close to home as possible, while receiving the highest standard of care. Our organization’s goal is to achieve healthy, prosperous and sustainable communities and we are proud to partner with the Victoria Hospital Foundation for such an investment in our future.“
In addition to being a gesture of gratitude, he hopes the motorcade serves as encouragement.
“I hope it’s just that little bit of ‘we’re starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel and lets just keep going,”‘ he said. “This isn’t the time for us to back down.”
At the same time as emergency services vehicles circled the Victoria Hospital residents were encouraged to make some noise for healthcare workers at 7:30 p.m. from their front porches, lawns or driveways.
Victoria Hospital Foundation CEO Sherry Buckler told Power 99’s Andy Cohen it was a way to say thank you to healthcare workers at the hospital for everything they’ve done and continue to do.
The Victoria Hospital Foundation (VHF) is saying thanks to the Victoria Hospital frontline workers with a tribute on New Year’s Eve.
According to a media release, the initiative, which has been proposed across Saskatchewan is meant to show gratitude for frontline workers.
On Dec. 31 at 7:30 p.m. the VHF are asking residents of Prince Albert to go to their own front porch, lawn, driveway, etc. and make noise for frontline workers while the P.A. Fire Department, Parkland Ambulance and P.A. police do a symbolic drive by around the Victoria Hospital to show support.
“This is a chance for everyone to not only celebrate and thank our Frontline Workers together (from afar), but also welcome 2021 with hope, noise and gratitude, together,” as stated in the release.
