Community fills void left by stolen angel January 30, 2021
The kindness of strangers has eased the pain of staff and residents at a Hamilton hospice caused by thieves who made off with a guardian angel that decorated the building exterior for the Christmas season.
When Emmanuel House director Maria Bau-Coote purchased a set of guardian angels that light up for the hospice, she expected they would bring Christmas cheer to the residents and to the neighbourhood in a year that had been isolating and challenging for so many. So, when she drove past one day and noticed that one of the five angels had been stolen, she found it especially disheartening.
