Help from Hawthorn
Young Michael Clarke’s recovery efforts at
the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Barbados received a boost
recently with a donation of $2,000 from the Women’s Fellowship
of Hawthorn Methodist Church, Worthing. The contribution was
made to help defray the cost of medication and the physical
therapy treatments in the CDP&R programme of the Foundation.
11-year-old Michael suffered a stroke, and
the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Barbados came to his
assistance, offering its services of monitored exercise and
counseling free of charge to the plucky youngster.
In presenting the funds to CEO Adrian
Randall at the Foundation’s headquarters recently, President of
the group Mrs. Hannah Thomas said that they were gladly
facilitating the effort to help him return to his maximum level
of fitness. “We expect that Michael’s effervescent spirit and
strong determination to overcome this setback will stand him in
good stead in all that he sets his heart to do” she said, “and
we wish him well in his future endeavours.”
The Hawthorn Women’s Fellowship numbers
about 30 and has an active community outreach programme, which
includes visits to shut-ins and similar activities. Funds raised
through a variety of drives are donated to deserving causes.
