"I am proud to be the Honorary
Chair of McDermott House Canada in support of Canada’s sons
and daughters who serve as soldiers, police, firefighters and
paramedics - as well as their families. Those who look after us
in our hours of greatest need are heroes and must be valued and
appreciated by us. In their time of need, we will be there for
them.”

"I am passionate about supporting our
Veterans, Military and First Responders through all phases of
their lives. The selfless sacrifices they make to preserve our
liberties must not be forgotten. From WWI to Afghanistan, and
including every war or peace keeping mission in between, our Veterans
have allowed us to live free and in peace in the greatest country
in the world. Here at home, First Responders often put their own
lives at risk to ensure we are safe.
Your donation will enable McDermott
House Canada Foundation to expand and enhance the Palliative Care
Unit at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre. In doing so, we will ensure
those who have dedicated their lives to our well-being know how
much their service is appreciated.”

"On my numerous visits to K Wing in
the Veterans Centre to see friends, I have always been impressed
with the wonderful care they received. Today I was at the funeral
of a friend. He was a fellow veteran who had been receiving treatment
at Sunnybrook. His family had only praise for the hospital, and
also told me how appreciative they were of the kindnesses shown
to them by the caring staff.”

"Our dear mom Andrea spent the last
6 weeks of her life in the Palliative Care Unit in K Wing at the
Veterans Centre. We will be forever thankful for the tremendous
support and care provided by the wonderful team of doctors, nurses
and volunteers during the most difficult time of our lives. We
know John's vision to create a state of the art facility will
be of great comfort to other families for years to come and will
be the model for the rest of the country!”

As Canada’s largest Veterans care
facility, Sunnybrook is honoured to partner with McDermott House
Canada and join this unique and worthy initiative. Together, and
with your support, we will create a premier Palliative Care Unit
that will significantly change the end-of-life experience for
our patients and their families. Thank you for making a difference,
when it matters most.”
