Kinsey & Kendra Fader, Primary Students, Thank Mr. J.D. Irving & Kent Homes for Donation to IWK

“Mrs. Laura Evans-Fader remembers yearning for privacy as her twin daughters, Kendra and Kinsey, fought for their lives in an open-bay neonatal intensive care unit at the IWK Health Centre.”  “We are alive today because of people like you,” one of the twins told the donors, bringing tears to the eyes of nurses who cared for them.” (Chronicle Herald)

Sacred Heart Primary students, Kinsey & Kendra Fader, asked their parents if they could write a little speech for them to read at the press conference at the IWK on Wednesday, May 8^th and their mother said “I am proud to say that they stood on step stools at the podium and read alternating lines, delivering their thank you message to Mr. J.D. Irving, Irving ShipBuilding and Kent Homes for their combined donation of $1,000,000 to the NICU restructuring project and oncology research at the IWK!!”

Mrs. Evans-Fader said:  “At the reception that followed, we were flooded with questions asking where they go to school.  We were proud to say, Sacred Heart.” 

Sacred Heart School if so very proud of Kinsey and Kendra!
