Help Get Anne Tolmie Home

Thank you to the overwhelming support of the community. We have reached and exceeded our fundraising goal.

Hello, my name is Nathalie Chambers and I am fundraising for our beloved neighbour Anne Tolmie who is in a dire situation. As you may have read in the news, Anne's home was broken into six times while she was in the hospital being treated for pneumonia. The burglar ransacked everything floor to ceiling, including antiques, mementos, paperwork, and family photos. In addition to the numerous sentimental and valuable belongings that were stolen from her home, the perpetrator also harvested all of the copper pipes from her basement, deeming her house unlivable until further notice.

Since the news broke a few days ago, an overwhelming amount of people in the community have come forward and asked how they can help Anne. This is how. Anne has an adamant desire to return home, and she is asking for financial donations that will be put towards buying a safe, clean, and livable trailer for her to move into. Big or small, your donation will have a huge impact on fulfilling Anne's wish. It is in times like these that we need to band together and care for the elderly in our community.
