Leave a Gift in Your Will to Broadmead Care

Rudi Hoenson helped us protect programs and services for Canada veterans through a gift in his Will. In loving memory of Rudi, who passed away in 2020.

“I hold my fellow veterans very close to my heart. It doesnโ€™t matter if they are WWII veterans, like me, or served for Canada or our allies. It gives me great pride to know my gift will endure and Canadaโ€™s Veterans will continue to receive the best in care long into the future.

I am an ex-prisoner-of-war and I survived the atomic bomb in Nagasaki. I know many of my brothers-in-arms experienced similar difficult situations during WWII. We willingly dedicated our lives to protecting our glorious nation and her people. To do so, we gave up many comforts of home.

I know from personal experience how caring and compassionate every Broadmead Care team member is. I know what a privilege they consider it to care for the men and women who were willing to put themselves in harms way for freedomโ€™s sake. At Veterans Memorial Lodge, they give their utmost every day to create a welcoming environment with the comforts of home for the many men and women who served Canada.

And I know how important it is to secure the future for Veterans yet to come. That is why I left a legacy gift to Broadmead Care which will impact future generations of Canadaโ€™s military service men and women.

I believe it is up to each of us to do what we can to help. If we all give a little, together we can do a lot.”
