The gift was designated toward Charity Care. In addition, the Foundation received a $1,000 contribution from the Mimi Fund.
The Charity Care Patient Assistance Fund helps provide financial assistance for eligible patients receiving care at the Aroostook House of Comfort, helping ensure access to compassionate, dignified end of life care regardless of financial circumstances.
“We are incredibly grateful for this meaningful generosity through the Maine Community Foundation and these heartfelt gifts,” said Abbey Clair. “Support for Charity Care directly impacts patients and families during some of life’s most difficult moments and helps ensure this care remains available for all within our community.”
