A 91原创 family has set up a GoFundMe page in honour of their mother/grandmother Marian McCulloch, who passed away in her sleep at 91原创 Lodge on May 13.
Due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements, gathering for a memorial isn鈥檛 possible; but in lieu of flowers, donation can made to the 91原创 Lodge in her honour.
Daughter Lisa McCulloch-Riobo said 91原创 Lodge had given her an incomparable level of comfort when her mother moved into the facility several years ago, adding that she felt the place was so full of live and positivity.
McCulloch-Riobo and her family launched the GoFundMe campaign with the goal of funding a 鈥渓ifting device鈥� for the 91原创 Lodge; something they said greatly assisted Marian during her time living in the facility.
鈥淭he energy, joy and care she received from the staff and volunteers there was second to none,鈥� the McCulloch family stated on the campaign page. 鈥淗er room had a ceiling lift which, not only was an incredible benefit to her, it allowed the staff to provide the care she needed safely and securely, for both the staff, and Mum.鈥�
Not all rooms have ceiling lifts installed, so the family is hoping to give back to the Lodge as a thank you to make life easier for residents and staff members.

The McCulloch family started by casting their own donation into the campaign, which will go toward the $5000 needed to purchase a lift. Another $5,000 is needed to instillation.
91原创 Lodge has been simultaneously battling an outbreak of coronavirus at that began on April 28, which infected 21 people and caused three deaths, Fraser Health said.
McCulloch-Riobo said COVID-19 meant they were unable to visit Marian during the past two months, but the family remained positive and at ease because of the level of trust they had built with 91原创 Lodge.
People can visit 鈥淚n lieu of flowers; Ceiling Lift for 91原创 Lodge鈥� on if they wish to make a donation.
