Last weekend a local group raised much needed funds to start refurbishing the Donegal Town Hospice patient wards and family rooms which are situated in the Donegal Town Hospital.
At present, the hospital use two single wards as a hospice, with a small connecting room for visitors to use.
Julie Voss, one of the organisers, said; “Our vision is to create a home from home environment which offers comfort and pleasant surroundings for the patients and their family and friends.”
Many soft furnishings and non perishable goods were donated to the hospice last weekend and will be used in the refurbishment.
“We had our jewellery and handbag bring and buy sale on Saturday while being serenaded by The Central Hotel’s brass band!”
“The sun shone and there was a sea of purple and red on our walk, with 480 people taking part.”
“The thought tree looked really pretty and we were served refreshments by the hospital staff”.
All donations are still appreciated greatly, and the organisers would like to thank everyone who came along and supported this fantastic weekend.
Julie summed it up by saying; “The whole weekend was absolutely amazing”.
