DEAR EDITOR:
Thank you Bowen Island!
Twenty years ago Marianne, Roos, Lisa, and I came from Holland and chose Bowen to start our new life. We loved Bowen right away – the strong sense of community and the incredible natural beauty of this island.
These last few weeks since my cancer diagnosis, experiencing the unbelievable support and love coming our way, we feel even more a part of this wonderful community. And on a practical note, with our income drastically reduced, the incredibly generous financial help we have received from so many of you has freed us from worrying about being able to pay the bills on top of my health.
You can’t imagine what a huge relief this is for us.
So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! We feel so blessed and grateful to be here and to be a part of Bowen Island, thanks to you.
Teun, Marianne, Roos, and Lisa
