Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice (CVHHH) is pleased to share that more than 340 donors generously contributed over $66,000 to its 2024 Year-End fundraising appeal.
Appeal Honorary Chairs Kristin Haskins, of Barre, and her sons, Walt Ward and Del Haskins, shared their personal experience navigating care for Kristin, who lives with Alzheimer’s Disease. Walt and Del turned to CVHHH to learn about care options as their mother’s disease progressed. After a consultation with CVHHH’s Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner, Kelley Elwell, DNP, to answer questions and learn about Kristin’s goals of care, the family chose hospice with CVHHH. With support from CVHHH’s interdisciplinary hospice team, the family has more time together to focus on what matters while having their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs met in the comfort of home.
“We are grateful to our donors for making CVHHH’s year-end fundraising campaign a success,” said Emily McKenna, CVHHH’s Chief Advancement Officer. “The money raised will be used to fund programming and services for central Vermonters just like Kristin, who I want to recognize and thank – along with her sons, Walt and Del – for sharing their story on CVHHH’s behalf.”
