AFTER the massive success of the Albanian Harvest Festival earlier this month, the festival committee was able to generously donate $4,000 to GV Hospice (GVH), which was spent on two brand-new Oxygen Concentrators and a wheelchair for their patients.

GV Hospice provides community palliative care in people’s homes or nursing homes for people with life-limiting illnesses. Their care covers people from the very young to the very old. Liaising with families and carers to support people with terminal illnesses find their way through all the stress and hardship they face.

GV Hospice is a not-for-profit and relies on volunteers to help provide care to the community, as well as generous donations from groups like the Albanian Harvest Festival Committee (AC).

The new Oxygen Concentrators provided by the AC’s generous donation will allow patients to breathe a little easier by simply plugging them into an outlet and generating their own air.

“They do an amazing job. It’s fantastic and we’re very proud and very happy to donate to this cause,” said Shepparton Albanian Moslem Society president, Reg Qemal.
