One Saskatchewan family is turning their son’s memory into a way to give back to the community.
One Saskatchewan family is turning their son’s memory into a way to give back to the community.
Kenton Dobrowolski was just 32-years-old when he passed away with cancer in October.
“He was stubborn, funny, he loved to scare people. That was his favourite thing,” his mother Jacki remembered. “He was just so kind and helped people. He had a big heart.”
Kenton spent his final nine days in Pasqua Hospital’s palliative care unit with his wife at his side for nearly 24-hours a day.
“It made us feel like we wanted to do something,” Jacki said. “We just didn’t know what.”
The family decided on blankets, which the family is collecting to honour his memory.
The blankets will be donated to the palliative care unit at Pasqua Hospital in Regina, so those staying there, and their families, may be a little warmer this holiday season.
