As we are wrapping up another semester, we would like to congratulate everyone for another successful semester with PHR!

We are happy to announce the Kimberly Fund recipients for this semester:

~ Shana Paul and Naomi Daisy are two young chronic dialysis patients at Princess Margaret Hospital who needed help in purchasing dialysis medications. They each received $2000 EC for Epogen supply.

~Mr. Bruno, also a renal failure patient at PMH, who is in need of kidney transplant, also received $2000 EC for dialysis and medications.

~On June 20th, PHR participated in the ISA Date Auction to raise money for the Princess Margaret Hospital’s Dialysis Unit. Another $2000 EC was donated for the cause.

We would like to thank the Ross Community for your donations during the Culture Night Fundraiser.

Best of Luck to everyone on the upcoming Mini Exam and Final!

PHR raised $2,600 EC for Kimberly fund, to help Mitchel Dubois, a 72 yr. old homeless amputee, find a home at the Grange Home for the Ages. Yuankai ‘Vincent’ Lin, a PHR volunteer met Mr. Dubois a few times through home visits with Espwa Dominika, and took the initiative to ensure that Mr. Dubois finds a home. Vincent put together a great video to help the fundraiser and it was a GREAT success! Congratulations Vincent! We at PHR would like to THANK everyone for your donations. Thank you for making a difference in someone’s life. Congratulations to all the officers and members who came to put the event together.
