The St. Albert Sturgeon Hospice Association (SASHA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care and resources to individuals and families, with a mission to educate, engage, and empower those affected by life-limiting illnesses.
SASHA is committed to helping individuals live life to the fullest, even in their final days. Through their Compassionate Care Volunteer Program, they offer companionship, respite, and resource sharing to both clients and their caregivers, ensuring no one feels alone in their journey. Additionally, SASHA provides educational resources that cover essential topics such as advance care planning, equipping families with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
You are invited to support SASHA by taking part in the annual Lighting the Way fundraiser. Scheduled for November 21, 2024, this event brings light and joy to the residents of Foyer Lacombe Hospice during the long winter months. The trees around Mission Hill will be beautifully illuminated, serving as a symbol of hope and community spirit.
To make this event a success, SASHA encourages donations and tree sponsorships. Contributions received by November 14, 2024, will be acknowledged in the printed program at the lighting ceremony, while those made after this date will still be recognized on SASHA’s donor wall online. Your generosity ensures that SASHA can continue to provide its vital services to those who need them most.
Join SASHA in lighting the way for those in their final chapters. Your support will make a world of difference. To learn more about how you can contribute or to get involved in the event, visit the Lighting the Way event page.
Together, let's illuminate the path with compassion and care, ensuring no one faces the end alone.
