Around Manitoulin Island, it’s difficult to find a person who Christine (Lee) McNaughton’s life hasn’t touched. Her genuine kindness, natural friendship, or willingness to help out a friend, family member, business, or complete stranger is known widely across the island. Through her blog, Life on Manitoulin, she has shared information about the Island, her life, and much more.

Now, it is time to give her some assistance. After having a series of small strokes on September 2, Christine has found herself alone at Health Sciences North. With a long road ahead of her for in-hospital rehab, her family is making many trips to and from their farm to Sudbury. This is made even more difficult by the lack of a reliable vehicle.

Once Christine is able to return home, there will be many added challenges. For someone who is self-employed, Christine is only paid for work she completes. This means the family income has been cut in half. In addition, there are many new challenges the family will face in the coming days, week, months, etc.

Let’s all rally around Christine and reflect back on the support she and her family have shown so many over the years.
