Q: What impact do you see donations making in your area? 

A: The money is used to help provide better care for the patients. I’ve seen a lot of improvements in our program. More donors mean a better budget to purchase equipment—vital signs machines, for one. But we need many things, from smaller items like a scale so we can properly measure the height and weight on patients so we’re adjusting their chemo appropriately, to things like treatment chairs, companion chairs and all the furniture in our waiting room.
