Edmonton non profit issues urgent plea for washers and dryers
Global News
The CEO of Compassion House is hoping Edmonton businesses will provide washers and dryers for the non-profit group and the women it supports.
A not-for-profit organization that helps women across Western Canada who have to leave home for cancer treatment issued a request for help Tuesday.
Michelle Okere, CEO of Compassion House Edmonton, said all the washers and dryers were out of commission.
On Twitter, Okere shared that these are commercial appliances and the company came out to diagnose the issue.
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be a quick fix,” she wrote.
Okere said Compassion House was told it could be at least a month and a lot of money for parts.
“We have a full house and can’t wait,” she wrote.
“Is there an Edmonton business that may be interested in partnering? Clean bedding is essential for the women we serve.”
