Detroit (Dec. 12, 2016) – The Arbor Hospice Foundation is accepting end-of-the-year donations that will benefit Arbor Hospice patients and their families. A tax-deductible contribution allows the organization to continue to offer services that include pediatric hospice care and hospice and palliative care for the uninsured and underinsured, as well as grief support services for children and adults.
Arbor Hospice will benefit patients and families that reside within the donor’s community area, unless otherwise noted. Supporters may choose which location around the state they would like to designate their contribution.
Every donation to The Arbor Hospice Foundation makes an impact to patients and families served by the nonprofit organization. For example, a contribution of $50 helps provide oxygen and medical equipment to a hospice patient for 10 days or five days worth of medication. A donation of $100 helps provide medication for 10 days, or a home care visit from a hospice aide, social worker, spiritual care advisor or a registered nurse.
“Arbor Hospice relies on community support in order to provide exceptional care and unique services to our patients and their families,” said Marcie Hilary, vice president, chief development officer for Arbor Hospice. “A gift during this giving season will allow patients and their families the opportunity to make the most of precious time with their loved ones.”
