WOODSTOCK - With all the bad news circulating these days, we thought we would share a couple of good new stories from this week in the Friendly City.
Local baker Kirsten Poole teamed up with her 8 year old daughter Jaylin to raise funds for the Woodstock Hospital. Poole is the owner of Cakes by K, a local bakery. She recently raised $450 to purchase an I-pad for the hospital and another $80 in Tim Horton's gift cards for Chemo patients. Poole did this by selling special cakes, that were decorated by her daughter Jaylin. The cakes were auctioned off on her Facebook Page. This was a way to commemorate a loved one who had recently passed away at a hospital in Ottawa.
They wanted to purchase an I-Pad for the hospital so patients could see loved ones, who were not allowed to visit because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Poole is currently competing in a greatest baker competition and you can vote for her online here.
Meanwhile a resident at Woodingford Lodge in Woodstock wanted to find a way to say thank you to the staff and management and the work they have done over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shawn Gaudier bought cupcakes for the staff and management as a way to say thank you for the work they have done during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I wanted to just say thank you. the tireless work the entire staff does for residents goes above and beyond expectations."
Gaudier says Woodingford Lodge is the gold standard in healthcare and is happy to be living there.
"The innovation is light years ahead of its time. There was no agenda to why I did what I did. I just wanted to make Woodingford lodge staff sit back and smile for two minutes."
Cakes by K. also helped out with this by supplying the tasty treats.
