Recently, a valued member of our clinic's team, Dr. Hannah Welsh, along with her partner Matt Goddard and their two young sons, Christopher and William, experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed their home and their possessions. Thankfully, no one was harmed in the fire but nearly everything else was lost.

Those who know this family understand how deeply uncomfortable they are with asking for help. Generosity is something they’ve always extended to others quietly and without fanfare, never imagining that they would need it themselves. However, as they face the overwhelming process of finding new accommodation and beginning to rebuild from scratch, we’re hopeful that our community can help them with this.

This GoFundMe has been created to give friends, neighbours, and anyone who feels moved to help, a way to offer support - whether it's a small donation, a kind word, or simply sharing this page. Funds raised will go directly toward essential needs: clothing, school supplies for the boys, temporary housing costs, and replacing household items.

In difficult times, even modest help can make a big difference. If you're in a position to give, know that your support will be met with deep gratitude and will be used with care and humility.

Thank you for supporting Hannah, Matt and the boys as they begin to rebuild their lives one step at a time.
