One thing that has happened since Bob was diagnosed with ALS, is that our family, friends, businesses and the community have rallied around us to help us. From back in February 2005 when the big Valentine's Fundraising Dance was held to the construction of our new wheelchair accessible home, to everyone for their support with the On A Roll, to more recently having been given donations to help with the cost of a new adjustable bed for Bob. It is truly amazing at all the help we have been given. We can thank everyone but that still sometimes seems not quite enough. I know people say they are just happy they can help.
So I am going to try to recognize everyone here and I will probably have to update this quite a bit as we are continually being blessed with everyone's generosity.
Recently we had to purchase a new bed for Bob. The bed cost a few thousand dollars, so I was working quite a bit extra in order to buy this bed. Our friends Colleen & Ted found out and at the same time won some money. They came over and gave us a cheque. When Colleen's boss, Gord from Floors First found out about this, he too wrote us a cheque. Also our friends Niki & Ian held a raffle for us which raised 1200.00. Now we didn't have to worry how the bed was going to be paid for. Bob and I are so grateful to everyone, thank-you!
