End of Life Rooms

A few months ago we sent an email out in regards to a very special project that is happening at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin, GA. We are still in need in helping them meet their objective. Patti has requested that we send this information for you to consider.
There is an old ward at the hospital with a new name, it is called Cultural Transformation. The project takes regular rooms and makes them "like home" as much as possible. While all of these rooms are special, some of these rooms are extra special. The extra special rooms are called "End of Life" rooms. These rooms are where our most special heroes spend their last days. The rooms are being remodeled so family members can stay with their loved ones until the end. They are trying to make the rooms as comfortable as possible for all involved. If you have ever sat in a hospital chair while a loved one was being treated, you can understand how special these rooms are for those who don't have much time left.
The project total is $14,800. The VA is short $3,000 for the completion of these rooms. We are in need of some MUCH needed monetary donations to help them meet their goal. These rooms are so special and will provide comfort for countless years to many families. It isn't often that we can be involved in a project like this. What an honor to be able to help make our heroes and their families as comfortable as possible while they stand guard over their loved ones before they pass away. This project is truly an Angels mission!
