Why I volunteer – William Hammond

In July 2016, my grandma went to Hospice in her final hours because Hospice was just like home, and she wanted to relax before she passed on.

Ever since then, I’ve wanted people to have the same experience; to relax and feel good about leaving this world. My mom and I have been donating money that we have raised through bottle drives and garage sales, baked cookies and sweets for holidays and made angels so the patients would feel watched over. I love the reactions I get to see when I take someone a sweet or an angel, and that just makes it all worth it.

ABOUT

Land Acknowledgement
For more than 15,000 years the First Nations walked upon, and cared for, the lands we now call home: Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Ojibwe, and many others who cared for their families and communities, the way we now seek to care for ours.
Hospice Georgian Triangle and Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation acknowledge the Lake Simcoe-Nottawasaga Treaty of 1818 and respects all the Nation-to-Nation agreements that have formed relationships with the original inhabitants of Turtle Island; the reality of our shared history; the current contributions of Indigenous people within our community and seeks to continue empowering expressions of pride amongst all the diverse stakeholders in this area.
We seek to do better, to continue to recognize, learn, and grow, in friendship and community, Nation-to-Nation.
