Before
his death in 2008 my father Erwin Lutz was lucky enough to
receive a much needed scooter from the Lending Cupboard. We
passed it on to someone who, like Dad, would not have been
able to purchase one. Thanks for all the wonderful work you
do!
May
the spirit of the season carry you into the new year.

To
The Lending Cupboard,
We
greatly appreciate the use of your equipment. Without it,
we would not have been able to keep Grandma comfortable when
she was home. Special people like you make the world a brighter
place.
Sincerely,
Lucille Lemieux and family

"Dear
Friends @ LC; Thank you so very much for your gracious, loving
spirits. My Dad was in need of a lift to transfer him. We
prayed one day; I phone you; you supplied. And my parents
live in Rocky Mtn. House! May God bless you and the work you
do and may LC prosper."

"I

"Enclosed
please find recent profits from a garage sale! I read with
interest and admiration your efforts to meet a need in the
community. Please accept this small donation in appreciation
for this wonderful service which you are providing. It has
enabled me to return home and it looks like I could remain
there in comfort for years. This is the sort of idea which
I wish I was the one who came up with it." - U. I. Graham
"Whilst
visiting in the hospital, we referred a dear old gentleman
to your service ........ the hospital were telling him it
would cost him $1000 to outfit his home prior to him being
able to leave the hospital. This was a real hardship for the
family, and he and his family were delighted to learn of your
wonderful service!" - Hazel Flewwelling

Madam,
What
a good idea you had when you started up The Lending Cupboard!
Scheduled
for orthopedic surgery later this month, I and my wife were
at your premises last Friday and were able to borrow the half
dozen items which I am told I will need for convalescence.
The people were pleasant; the place was clean and airy; the
process of signing the equipment over - together with some
useful education - took only ten minutes.
The
point is an obvious one: had I been confronted with having
to buy a walker, cane, crutches and the rest of it, I would
not have known what to buy nor where to get it. And we would
have spent perhaps a thousand dollars. As it transpires, I
feel that I have been looked after by some caring professionals.
Thankyou.
We
have decided that you should be on our list of once-a-year
'charities'. Likewise, I have let my bank (Servus) know that
you should continue to be on their list.
Please
accept the enclosed small donation.
Best
wishes to you,
Peter
Priest, married to Dorothy Robinson-Priest

The
enclosed donation is made with thanks for the use of your
equipment at the time of my son Gordon's knee surgery. They
were a real godsend and it was a pleasure to deal with your
society. The volunteers were very knowledgable and friendly
and are to be commended.
Thank
you for offering such a needed service to the citizens of
Central Alberta. It helps to make for a less stressful time
at the time of a loved one's illness.
Sincerely,
Norene Sifert

I
would like to thank you for your service. All these items
my husband brought from your place on Dec. 10/07 were very
helpful to me. Someone else will never know how important
these items are to the one who is experiencing lots of pain
after a major surgery.
I
want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service.
May the Lord bless you & the service you provide in the
community. Thank you again.
Sincerely
Mrs. G. Stout

Hello,
and congratulations on your first anniversary! I was fortunate
enough to borrow a commode chair from you to make a trip possible
for my hadicapped mother last Sept. As it turns out, the trip
to the cabin that her husband and her had built on the 60's,
and their favorite place on earth, ended up being her last
time there, as she passed away. Thank you for making her time
there easier.
What
a wonderful concept you have for needful people! Our family
did donate the equipment my mom had and I'm sure someone else
was equally grateful. Again, congratulations and all the best
for continued success.
You
are the bestest!

This
letter is to say thank you for your assistance with our family's
efforts to keep our Mom, Gail Perry, living at home as long
as possible when she became palliative with brain cancer.
Mom was diagnosed in late September of 2006 and had surgery
on October 3. She passed away four months later on February
4, 2007. We were able to keep her at home from mid November
up until 5 days before she passed away. This contributed so
greatly to her quality of life in her last few months.
Our
family wishes to thank your Society for assisting with equipment,
advice, and understanding throughout this process. It is times
like this that the generosity of the community is so apparent.
Please
accept this small donation as a token of appreciation from
our family. It is a portion of the donations that we received
at Mom's funeral, so no tax receipt is required.
Thanks
again, and we wish you success as you continue to support
clients and their families to stay living in their homes as
long as possible.
Sincerely,
Lisa Scott
Many
thanks on behalf of the Lettner family, for making available
the use of this walker for our mom, Rita Lettner.
Even
though she used it only a few times, we are grateful for the
peace of mind it gave her, knowing that there was a possibility
for her to get out for a walk should she have wanted to.
May
this donation be used to bless someone else with a similar
opportunity.
Thanks
again,
Karen Boston
(for the Lettner family)
