It's hard to believe it, but since 23 January 2012, 103 families have stayed at Jeneece Place!  Their comments and feedback reflect the love and caring that was put into planning and designing this home away from home. Families feel more relaxed, more rested and calmer because of their stay here - and everyone loves the many features the House has to offer - from the laundry room for families, to the computer stations, and of course the games and craft room and the media room! Thanks to everyone for making this place happen and continuing to contribute!

Cathy Gibson from the Fairmont Empress came to Jeneece Place the other day to drop off welcome bags for families who will be staying at Jeneece Place. Cathy and the Empress crew have been assisting Jeneece for many years and we are very grateful that they have decided to support Jeneece Place. Thank you Empress for all you have done.

The "Friends of Ruth" have been hard at work for months making more than 60 quilts for the families staying at Jeneece Place. Sherrill McKay, Lenore Swift and Marlene Cudmore braved the grey and rainy weather and made the 3 hour drive from Campbell River to Victoria with this very special delivery. These quilts will be enjoyed by families while they are in residence at Jeneece Place and then will accompany them home as a comforting keepsake.

On Saturday March 31st Jeneece received a very prestegious honor.  She became the very first Canadian youth to receive "The Changing Our World/Simms Award for Outstanding Youth in Plilanthrophy, International Youth Award"

She accepted the award in front of 400 international guests and extraordinary philanthropists.  Jeneece also received a standing ovation for her efforts.  Thank you Jeneece, you did us all proud.
