Money goes toward purchasing infant resuscitator for QEH's neonatal unit
The Wo-He-Lo club has raised almost $30,000 from its recent clothing sale — enough to purchase an infant resuscitator for the neonatal ICU at Charlottetown's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Wo-He-Lo stands for work, help and love. It has been been raising money for the local hospital since 1933.
Every spring and fall, the members call on a network of donors to give their gently-used quality clothing and accessories for men, women and children.
They gather the items at their homes — laundering and mending if needed — then take them to the QEH for a massive sale that's open to both hospital staff and the public.
This year's fall sale took place Oct. 19.
