Dear Geoffrey and Team
You were there when we needed you to help provide a 'home-away-from-home' for families like Jane’s. As Jane says our gratitude knows no bounds. Thank you, thank you, thank-you!
There's nothing more comforting than a home-cooked meal - but by cooking for the Family Dinner Programme, you have given so much more: the precious gift of time. Time for families to simply be together after a long day at the hospital during what is often described as the most difficult period of their lives. Consider the weight of that and hold it dear.
Last year, the Family Dinner Programme put 1,176 dinners on the table. We're so grateful that you've been part of this year's effort, which is shaping up to be even more impressive.
Thank you again for helping to keep families together and allowing them to focus on what really matters – their child.
Warm regards,
Heather Bakkenes
House Manager
