Lisa Byrne's Medical Recovery
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Pam and I'm fundraising to help my friend Lisa Byrne.
As you may be aware, Lisa suffered a serious, unexpected health event and is currently in the hospital recovering. Lisa spent over a week in the ICU and has recently been moved to another area of the hospital for further treatment. Lisa has a long road ahead, but thankfully she is one of the toughest people I know, so I have no doubt she will be able to get through this.
Everyone knows Lisa is an extremely hard worker and dedicated member of the VPD. She passionately advocates for her members and is known as a valued leader in the policing community across Canada. Lisa is also a very proud person who would never ask for this kind of help, which is why I have taken it upon myself to set up this fundraiser (with the blessing of her family).
Our hope is that with these funds, we will be able to support Lisa and her family, so that she and Steve can get back to their love of the outdoors with their beloved dog, Lucy.
Although Lisa's prognosis is positive, she has a long way to go in terms of her physical recovery and rehab/physical therapy.
The funds will be used to:
- Purchase medical equipment and treatments that are not covered by MSP or extended health benefits.
- Cover travel expenses for her family to regularly visit from Alberta and Steve’s family to come and visit from the UK.
- Pay for possible renovations and medical equipment for her house.
- Support her, and her family, for the long road ahead.
- Any funds not used for Lisa's recovery will be donated to a charity of her choice.
Thank you for taking the time to read about Lisa's situation. If you are able to donate, any small amount will go a long way.
