One of Canada’s top REALTORS® is donating a staggering $130,000 to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital—$1 for every resident of his city.
Faisal Susiwala, who has reportedly earned a top 1% worldwide rating with RE/MAX for his 29-year real estate career, presented the cheque in November during the hospital foundation’s annual Trees of Caring launch party.
“Sometimes, it’s hard to realize that if everyone stepped up and donated a fraction of their income, together, we can make a huge difference,” Susiwala said. “Cambridge Memorial Hospital is looking for donations as the institution works towards redeveloping and expanding to accommodate our growing community. I’m honoured to be part of that.”
The construction will comprise of a new wing and complete renovation of the existing patient care wing, which will provide the necessary space for the hospital to bring new and expanded clinical services to the community. The hospital foundation has a fundraising goal of $50 million from the community and almost $41 million has been raised to date.
“This generous investment of one dollar per resident is a great example of how smaller gifts can quickly add up. We are hopeful that other passionate community members are motivated by Susiwala’s leadership and might consider how they can help too,” said Lisa Short, the hospital foundation’s executive director.
