Over $5 million has now been raised and the construction of the facility, which is planned to open in 2009, is now underway. Many patients travel from great distances across the province to get treatment, sometimes for weeks at a time, and have to incur costs for accommodation. Daffodil Place will remove the burden of worrying about the added financial pressure of how they are going to pay for it and will provide rooms that feature the comforts of home along with meal services, emotional and practical support services.
