Emergency Fundraiser Update - Week 1

 

Dear CAMPP friends and supporters, Thank you to the many individual donors who helped raise $11,000 in five days since launching our Emergency Fundaiser to pay our court-ordered $55,750 legal bill!  Many of you have also sent us messages or commented on social media - you can read these in the boxes below. We are so grateful to all the residents who continue to donate their time and resources to CAMPP's mission to keep hospital healthcare services accessible. We so appreciate your generosity. We heard from some members of our community who don't have much to spare. We know how hard times are. And yet, you still contributed what you could. Every dollar makes an important difference. You are so critical to ensuring the City of Windsor and Windsor Regional Hospital's plans for our future healthcare are equitable, inclusive and accessible. But we still need more support. CAMPP needs to raise a further $44,750 before June 11, 2021. Each contribution is a message to decision makers at all three levels of government that hospitals belong where people live. If you haven't done so already, or if you want to contribute again, please make your voice heard by helping us settle our debt to the City of Windsor and Windsor Regional Hospital. We are committed to continuing to advocate for a more sensible healthcare plan for our community, but we need to get our court-ordered legal bill behind us first. Please be generous. And help us get the word out. Please tell your friends about our Emergency Fundraiser. Everyone deserves a better healthcare plan. No amount is too small or too big. But remember, our deadline for contributions is June 11, 2021.

In their own words: Some recent comments by residents after the Divisional Court Decision:

“Our city deserves better.”

“It's a province mandate to preserve farmland but we're hell bent to pave over and build out. One glaring example is the proposed Mega Hospital on farmland. Hundreds of acres will be destroyed as other businesses and homes are built to be near this new hospital. Not to mention the millions to be spent on new roads, sewers, etc. Very poor planning on Windsor's leaders, but this is nothing new.”

“It's important to add our voices now.”

“remember that we are fighting this just cause for future generation. We’ll be dead and gone and they need it to be right.”

“I love how so many people are stepping up to donate and share. I was ready to give up the fight but not any more. Thank you!”

“Windsor Essex county must be the first area in Canada, to be wholly into the new Antropocene Epoch." [sic]

“I've tried for 9 Years to get answers from those responsible for this hospital project and NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE REPLY !!!”

“pretty disgusting that the residents of Windsor have to pay out-of-pocket to try to defend keeping their institutions open.”

“Hospitals should be conveniently built where the majority of Windsor residents live. Lots of Windsor residents don't own a mean of transportation and can't afford to hire one if a medical emergency comes up.”

“Pursuing the County Rd 42 is so shamelessly disingenuous of Windsor and the Essex County Council, when only in today's Star, all are touting the 18-months-in-the-making 'regional energy plan aimed at addressing climate change issues'.”

“Hospitals need to be where people live. Please make the rational and logical choice: use the former GM site, not farmland, for our new hospital.”

“The proposed existing location so close to the Windsor Airport was a second choice. The first choice was just north of Tecumseh Rd. and in the open fields south of the Walmart area, but the price was a couple million dollars more."

“It's important that people see that REAL people are behind this, not just a few vague faces with money.”

“Always supportive of your incredible efforts to make our city a better place to live.”

“Thank you for all that you have done.”

Thank you for your many messages of support. Please continue to send us your comments.
