CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION OF MANITOBA
Continued from page 11
According to Grande, monetary contri - butions and motivations may vary but all of it is equally important and has the ability to create change. “There’s someone you think might give a little bit and they give a lot, for a lot of different reasons: a child of theirs has been sick, a niece, a nephew — they’re so thankful, they want to show that thanks,” Grande says. “There’s other donors who give because it’s the right thing to do.” For Grande, there isn’t anything more important than what he’s doing now. “I strive to be better as a father every day,” he says, adding that learning about every child’s story makes him more thankful and appreciative. There is immense gratitude for the Chil - dren’s Hospital staff and the donors who support the hospital to ensure it’s ready for emergency situations for kids across Mani- toba, Northwestern Ontario and Nunavut. “It feels like we can talk to people here and our care needs are met,” says one of the parents with a sick child receiving hos- pital care. “Nothing is too impossible here.” Likewise, Grande echoes similar senti- ments.
