Kelowna physiotherapist and acupuncture consultant Helen Day has thrown her support behind an effort by UBC Okanagan students to collect second-hand health aid equipment for Syrian refugees currently living in Middle East border camps.
From canes to walkers to splints and tensor bandages, Day said the UBCO effort is to put these items to use for displaced Syrians.
Day said she saw a poster about the campaign in a window at a Mission area coffee shop and felt inspired to do her part to help out the effort. “I just thought to myself, this is something I would like to help with.”
