Good People

In a world that seems full of troubling news, with people intent on destroying others lives, it is nice to hear a good news story.  This man Mark Dunajtschik, arrived in our city almost 60 years ago as a 23 year old from war torn Europe.   He ran his own engineering business before retiring and then investing in commercial property development.

Today it was announced that he was giving a personal gift of $50 million dollars to the hospital to pay for a new children's hospital.  What a difference that will make to the children and families in our city and region, providing them with safer and more comfortable facilities to rest and recuperate in.

How lucky we are to have such a generous gentleman living here, and his gift will be an amazing legacy for our city and country.

  3. Poppy, dear, we have a similar story in our area. The old gentleman enjoyed sitting unrecognized on a bench, watching children play in a special playground he'd provided for them. He called their joy a blessing on him.
