Thank You For Remarkable 2024 Spring Auction

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Expresses Heartfelt Gratitude for Remarkable Community Support of 2024 Spring Auction.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health extends its deepest gratitude to the incredible communities of the Lakes Region, Central and Northern New Hampshire for making the 2024 Spring Auction an unprecedented success. As our largest fundraiser of the year, this annual event has once again surpassed all expectations, thanks to the remarkable generosity and enthusiasm of our sponsors, donors, and participants.

This year, we were honored to have 25 local businesses step up as sponsors, showcasing their unwavering commitment to supporting our mission. These partnerships are vital, allowing us to continue providing compassionate care and essential services to individuals and families in need. The overwhelming support from these businesses highlights the strong community spirit and dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.

We are also immensely grateful for the more than 115 items donated by local businesses, which formed the heart of our auction. From unique experiences and gift certificates to handcrafted items and valuable services, the diversity and quality of the donations were truly impressive. Each contribution played a significant role in the success of the auction, drawing enthusiastic bids from attendees and driving the fundraising total to new heights.

The 2024 Spring Auction not only met but exceeded our fundraising goals, providing crucial funds that will directly support Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health’s programs and services. These funds ensure that we can continue to offer high-quality hospice care, home health services, and community health programs to those who need them most, regardless of their financial situation.

The event was a testament to the power of community and the incredible difference we can make when we come together. As we reflect on the success of the 2024 Spring Auction, we are filled with gratitude and optimism for the future. We look forward to continuing our work, supported by the generosity and kindness of our community. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of those we serve.

The Rewards of Being a Hospice Volunteer

While I was familiar with Hospice for many years, I only have been a hospice volunteer with Pemi Baker Hospice and Home Health (PBHHH) since October 2021.  When I retired, I began searching for volunteer work that would allow me to give back to my community.  A newsletter from PBHHH arrived in my email announcing training for hospice volunteers.  My family had experienced the need for hospice twice, once in Ohio and again in Florida.  The relief my family and I felt when the hospice volunteers arrived was beyond measure.  I want to bring the same kind of assistance to others.  PBHHH given me that opportunity by providing professional training with knowledgeable nurses, doctors, social workers and other health care professionals.  Their guidance has enabled me to meet the challenges of being s hospice volunteer, and I am very glad that I did it.

You give of yourselves day & night without end!

To the Pemi-Baker Hospice Team--Words really can't express my feelings-

Your help during one of the most difficult times of my life is SO appreciated.  I'm so grateful that because of you, Doug was able to get his wish not to spend the last of his days in a hospital, but at home with those of us who loved him.

And to be constantly reassured that if I needed anything you would be there-oh my gosh-ANYTIME!  Well, you people need to know how much you are appreciated.  You give of yourselves day & night without end!  God Bless you and thank you!

“My home physical therapy was fantastic.”

Pemi-Baker provided very good home therapy. All their therapists were pleasant, helpful in offering suggestions for better functioning after surgery, and practiced good health protocols. They were also very prompt in showing up for scheduled appointments.

“Pemi-Baker Hospice services provided kind, professional, competent services every step of the way-and even vaccinated us all for Covid/19!””

Our primary nurse, Fred, was outstanding, and others who filled in (Cathy, Penny, Colleen) were wonderful and a credit to your organization. Fred, you were amazing, not only for mom but for my husband and I as well. I will forever be grateful for your support, wisdom, humor and kindness, all along the end of life journey for mom. I am so deeply thankful that circumstances conspired such that mom was able to die at home, and your role made that time as seamless as it could be made.
