Jacinthe remembers as if it were yesterday . . . The day everything could have gone sideways. The ambulance in front of the house. The worried look in the eyes of her youngest, who\u2019d just turned 5. And then the race against time, tests, decisions made in seconds. \u201cIt\u2019s thanks to a committed, professional, sharp-minded and rigorous cardiologist that I\u2019m here today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacinthe was suffering a heart attack. She was only 39 years old. She recalls, with emotion, the responsiveness of the medical teamsin that pulled out all the stops to understand what was wrong. This medical vigilance saved her life later on, when she was diagnosed with cancer, now in remission, at the age of 63. \u201cThey didn\u2019t just help me. They helped my kids, my family. Care extends beyond the patient . . . it encompasses the entire family!\u201d. For Jacinthe, receiving treatment meant giving her children\u2014and now her grandchildren\u2014the chance to have her in their lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hospital, where her five children were born, was never simply a health care facility for Jacinthe. \u201cEvery time I entered the Hospital, I was treated like a queen.\u201d Whether at emergency, in cardiology, gynecology or oncology, she always met skilled and profoundly human teams. \u201cThey don\u2019t just see a hospital number. They see the person behind it, and an entire team mobilizes around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

In gratitude and deep recognition, Jacinthe has become a monthly donor. \u201cI give because the staff are outstanding,\u201d she repeats with conviction. For her, monthly giving is a simple gesture with a profound impact: a way of helping teams excel, upgrade their knowledge and obtain tools. \u201cIf we\u2019re able to get <\/i> sophisticated equipment . . . or offer <\/i> education to help patients . . . well, at least I\u2019ll have contributed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her donation is also a gesture of love for her friends and family and for current and future patients at the Hospital. \u201cIf my family or friends go to the Hospital, I want them to be cared for the way I was, or maybe even better.\u201d And even though she\u2019ll never know who benefitted from her donations, she\u2019s just fine with that: \u201cEven if they\u2019re people I don\u2019t know, it makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through her testimony, Jacinthe hopes to inspire others to give. Because behind every donation there\u2019s a story, a family, a future to protect, just like hers was. She\u2019d like to thank all of the teams at the Hospital: \u201cTo each and every team member: a huge thank you. You\u2019re vigilant, rigorous, remarkable professionals. Thanks to you, I\u2019m still here. I can never thank you enough . . . but it\u2019s in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wishes donations would fall from the sky so that there\u2019d be enough money to fund research, equipment and teaching.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
