Darlene Fitzgibbon - Darlene was in the process of researching for breast augmentation and came across Dr. Gabriel's website. She said she noticed the "pretty" Gift of Life logo and clicked on it, which is where she got the information for donating bras. It started with seven and snowballed from there, with friends and family all contributing. All told, she donated about 76 bras.

Brenda Snyder - "My husband and I own Garside Florist. One of your patients is an employee of ours. I was very touched by your Gift of Lift benefit. In honor of our employee and you we want to collect bras at our store for you to take to Haiti. With every bra brought in we will put that person's name in a raffle and on Dec. 16 we will draw one winner who will receive a dozen long stem pink roses."

"When I thought about what it would be like as a woman not to be able to afford to own a bra, or be able to provide one for a daughter, it broke my heart," she wrote. (From Vancouver Columbian article)
Update: Shanahan's final total of donated bras was 205! Thank you, Andie! Thanks also to Beigeblond Hair Salon in Vancouver, who donated a $75 gift card for services/product to the raffle at Shanahan's!
