A Young Boy Honors His Father’s Memory
Ten year-old Evan Hyman, lost his father, Howard, to brain cancer on Dec. 6, 2008. During his father’s last days, Evan got to know our Hospice Residence well and is committed to raising awareness about hospice, and raising money for VNHC.
During Evan’s run for office at Newfield Elementary School, he told his fellow students about his loss and about the hospice that cared for his father during the final week of his life. He subsequently held a cupcake sale at Newfield to raise money for hospice. The story appeared in the Stamford Advocate, and inspired a generous outpouring from the community. Evan’s efforts on behalf of hospice, plus the contributions he inspired have totalled over $8000.
