Rooms to Thrive Post – Sherry’s Story

We are very excited to introduce you to the first edition of our Rooms to Thrive Post! This newsletter will be sent out periodically to celebrate the inspiring stories of our donors and to keep you updated on the progress of our Rooms to Thrive initiative.  Click here to access the premiere edition of our Rooms to Thrive Post and “Sherry’s Story”.

Rooms to Thrive is both a heartfelt fundraising effort and a hands-on project dedicated to transforming the living spaces of our Residents—spaces they call home. In this first Post, I’ve shared my own story or better stated, my parents’ story, and what inspired me to invest in both the legacy and the future of The Home. I believe deeply in the incredible work being done at The Convalescent Home of Winnipeg. I believe in the strength of its leadership, the dedication of its staff, the warmth of its culture, and most of all—I believe in our Residents. They matter. They deserve to live in an environment that feels comforting, dignified, and truly like home.

I hope you’ll consider joining me today in supporting Rooms to Thrive. Every contribution makes a difference. You can donate online by credit card, PayPal, or Google Pay by clicking Donate Rooms to Thrive. You can also establish a recurring monthly donation. You can donate in memory or to celebrate the life of a precious loved one who you visit at The Home.

Prefer to donate by cheque? Please make it payable to The Convalescent Home of Winnipeg. Our mailing address is:  276 Hugo Street North, Winnipeg, MB  R3M 2N6. Our CanadaHelps Rooms to Thrive campaign page also shows how far we’ve come with our fundraising efforts.  Thanks to the generosity of early supporters, we’ve already raised over $330,000 of our goal to reach $1.5 million! Thank you to each one who have helped us come this far – but we have further to go!

Your financial support means we can continue what we have started! Together, we WILL create spaces where our Residents truly thrive!

With much gratitude,

Sherry Heppner
Development Coordinator
