A retiree living in Sutton, he spent his life working on concrete projects\u2014literally and figuratively. In 1977, he worked on the construction of H\u00f4pital Charles-Le Moyne\u2019s mental health pavilion. He was on the team pouring concrete. Today, he\u2019s chosen to donate stocks to his Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Mr. Carbonneau attended a supper at the Serge-Lemieux Golf Classic. Touched by the surgical robot project, he chose to make his very first donation to the Foundation. Instead of donating money, he decided to donate stocks to support mental health and technological innovation at H\u00f4pital Charles-Le Moyne.<\/p>\n<p>He heard about this type of donation at a conference. An expert explained the tax benefits to him and, especially, the idea of giving <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fhclm fhclm-plus\"><\/i> without it costing more.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cI prefer to give while I\u2019m alive. This way, I can see where my donation is going.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Mr. Carbonneau, giving is a question of values. He speaks proudly of his daughter who was born at H\u00f4pital Charles-Le Moyne, his son who is still being followed there, and his father who passed away there in 2010. He also knows that he\u2019s at risk of prostate cancer, which claimed his father\u2019s life. And his pride extends beyond his family:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re part of a community.
