Fundraising
As a non-profit charity,
the Laura Johnson Home depends on fund-raising for many of its needs.
As well, the Home needs to grow and re-equip to meet demand.
Over the years, the Home's
role has changed from catering for our city's Frail Aged, to now providing
care and accommodation for the longer term convalescent and the totally
incapacitated of all ages.
This change in role has created
a need for additional facilities and equipment and fund-raising is one
means of meeting this need.
It needs to build Retirement
Village Units to cater for the growing aged population of Mount Isa.
It needs new equipment such as Hospital Beds, Patient Lifters, Bed Pan
Hoppers, Sterilizers, Emergency Power and Lighting.
It needs to build Dementia
Care Facilities, to install a Hydrotherapy Pool and to expand its Day
Therapy Centre.
Just a few of the ways you
can help are with such things as the Annual Fete, Seniors Week Activities,
Mount Isa Day and Mardi Gras Activities and with our Raffles and Art
Unions.
Apart from the formal ways
in which we recognise our Volunteers such as our Annual Volunteers Night,
Volunteers Awards and such like, most probably the major benefits for
you are intangible.
