COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT<br />
EDMONTON FIRE<br />
One of the many supporters of RMHNA that deserves<br />
recognition is the Edmonton Fire Department. They put<br />
up our holiday lights, cook Home for Dinners, give the<br />
kids tours of the fire stations and sometimes surprise<br />
House families with special send-offs when they get to<br />
go home. We can’t forget to mention the baking our Fire<br />
Girls come and do with the kids! If you would like to<br />
read about their baking adventures visit rmhna.ca/blog.<br />
We always come to bake after our 14 hour<br />
night shift. Often we are tired from a long,<br />
busy and rough shift, but once we walk<br />
through the doors, that is gone…completely.<br />
The families are incredibly open, honest<br />
and true; there is so much kindness, courage<br />
and strength here that any fatigue or stress<br />
we are holding onto is quickly washed<br />
”<br />
away. To us, this is rejuvenating.<br />

Experiencing that genuine act of kindness was an<br />
unexpected gift I will treasure for a lifetime. Our<br />
community continues to make a real and long<br />
lasting impact on sick families. Those firefighters<br />
and Tiernan’s reaction warmed my heart on<br />
”<br />
the<br />
coldest of cold Edmonton November days.<br />
-Sandra Marocco, RMHNA Board President<br />
Edmonton Fire gave House Hero Tiernan<br />
a special send off as he and his family<br />
headed back home.
