This is a time to reflect on what hospices throughout the country have done to help patients and families cope with terminal illness, and to remind them of its importance. For Hospice of Yuma activities include Yuma New Car Dealer Month where the following dealers donate $25.00 to us for every vehicle sold during the month – Country Club Motors, Fisher Chevrolet, Fisher Chrysler Dodge Jeep, Karl Moedl Automotive Group, Sonora Nissan and Zamora Kia of Yuma.
December
LIGHT-A-LIGHT
The Holidays bring special memories to the forefront of one’s life, and an ancient adage declares that a person lives as long as he or she is remembered. Hospice of Yuma invites people to make donations in memory or in honor of their loved ones and friends, and we in turn send lovely crocheted snowflakes to the donors as remembrances to hang on their holiday trees or in their windows.
