Community raising funds for family of highly rated doctor killed by his patient


From gofundme
Dr. Walter Reynolds Memorial Fund
On a normal Monday morning, August 10th, life changed forever for the Reynolds family.
Walter tragically lost his life serving his community as a family doctor.
An unimaginable, horrific act of violence took him away from his loving family.
He was attacked in his office by a patient.
His friends, colleagues and community mourns an exceptional human being lost too soon. We all are devastated and heartbroken.
He was a devout father to two amazing young daughters and a loving husband. He loved to run, be healthy and, most of all spend time with his family.
Funds raised with this campaign will be used towards his daughters’ education.

We’ve received a donation of use of a Dodge Caravan from Southside Dodge- they’ve been an incredible support of us over the years. Attached is the photo we took at the dealership when we picked up the keys on Friday.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta, Red Deer House is truly grateful to Matt Swainson and his entire team at Southside Dodge for their steadfast support of our work to keep families together during the unimaginable hardship of the need to travel for medical treatment for their sick or injured child. Our House is not a nice to have, but a need to have, and we are honoured to work with such an amazing community partner in Southside. The use of the 2021 Dodge Caravan will help us to keep our operating costs down so that we can focus on our work to keep families close.
We have operated in the city for over 8 years, ensuring there is a safe and comfortable place for families to rest while they focus on the recovery of their child(ren).
We are grateful to everyone in Red Deer who supports us! 😊

Smiles Thru Lindsey reaching out with a new video message and urging Albertans to look out for each other at this challenging time


The holiday season is well behind us, we’re heading into the coldest part of the winter, and although the days are starting to grow longer there’s still a definite lack of daylight in our lives. The winter blues are a real thing and this year we have COVID, a whole new serious problem to add to our mental health issues.
COVID is also the reason the Smiles Thru Lindsey team has not been able do public events for many months. Unable to reach out physically through school visits and fund raisers, Smiles Thru Lindsey is reminding Central Albertans to check in on each other. Also, please follow the Smiles Thru Lindsey Facebook page . They’ll lead you to the resources you or your loved ones need right away.
Meet Lindsey and the Smiles Thru Lindsey team in this powerful video. …And remember to check in on the people in your life.
If you’d like to help Smiles Thru Lindsey with a donation please click here.
