Give
Public funding through the regional health authority covers about 60 per cent of what it costs to run the house. Gifts cover the rest, and they are the reason a room here is free.
Ways to give
Owen Sandhu, our director of development, answers every question himself: give@buroakhospice.ca.
-
Monthly
$45 a month covers one resident’s meals for a week. Monthly gifts let us plan, and you can change or stop yours at any time.

In memory
A gift in someone’s name. We send a card to the family, without the amount, and add the name to the book in the front hall.
-
Leaves on the oak
A brass leaf engraved with a name, hung on the bur oak in the front hall. $500, and the leaf stays as long as the house does.
-
In your will
A gift in your will costs nothing now and can be the largest gift you ever make. Owen Sandhu can talk it through with you or your lawyer, with no obligation: give@buroakhospice.ca.
