Dear All,
Thank you so much for all you are doing in raising money for the ACCORD hospice in Paisley which was such an important place to my mum. It is a fantastic and worthy cause and I can't commend it to you strongly enough. The care given there to seriously ill people is of the very highest quality and my family feel indebted to them for all they've done for us.
At this difficult time I can't tell you what it means that you are doing this. Thanks to everyone who has been able to make a donation.
I promise you, your money will be be well spent.

On behalf of ACCORD Hospice I take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for the generous donation received recently in memory of Helen McDonald.

As you will be aware Helen has been a great supporter of the work of our Hospice for many years and was extremely active in the fundraising group, Paisley Friends of ACCORD.

Helen was fundamentally involved in raising a lot of money for ACCORD over the years and was never one to miss an opportunity. I am sure she would have been quite overwhelmed at the response to her passing but would have been delighted at the funds raised in her memory.

Please be assured that your kind donation will be used by ACCORD to help provide our patients, and their families, with the special care and attention required during their time of need.

Yours sincerely,

Helen C. McLauchlan, Fundraising Coordinator
