Dear [Community Member],

A donor like you saved my life. Seven years ago, I had a fall while gardening. When the pain lingered, I went to Bowmanville Hospital, just to be safe.

That visit changed everything. The x-ray they took revealed a small, shadowy mass in my lung. Cancer, caught just in time, by a machine provided by supporters like yourself.

But here’s the thing that keeps me up at night: the same x-ray unit that helped save my life is now more than 20 years old. It’s outdated, breaking down more often, and replacement parts are impossible to find. Staff are dealing with delays and patients are waiting longer than ever.

You can change that, by supporting the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation’s efforts to provide a new, state-of-the-art general x-ray unit to the hospital. This machine is not just an upgrade - it’s a game-changer for patient care in our community.

Someone like you donated before I ever needed care. Their generosity saved my life.

With the cancer caught early, I was able to get immediate care. Today, I get to plant flowers in my garden, play with my grandkids, and watch the seasons change. That machine didn’t just diagnose me. It gave me a second chance.

Now, I am asking you to join me in ensuring future patients get the same care. By making a gift today, you will help bring vital, life-saving equipment to our community hospital.

Every gift matters. Every dollar brings us closer to changing lives like mine.

With heartfelt thanks,
Sarah K.
A grateful patient and monthly donor
