Bells Corners branches. “It’s just proven what a tiny community can do, the community just pulling together,” said Haynes. “It was just such a great night, I’ll never forget it.”

A fundraiser for a four-yearold boy hosted by Kanata Theatre managed to raise almost $25,000 on Monday, March 28. Donations are still pouring in, said theatre president and grandmother of the young boy, Jenefer Haynes, who only expected to raise about $10,000. “I can’t believe it, I just cannot believe it,” she said. “We had a packed house. I was really concerned we’d never be able to sell out the theatre. We had people on a waiting list. We couldn’t get everyone in.” Haynes grandson Connor, who the fundraiser was held for, was rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario the day of the event. “He was very, very ill Monday,” said Haynes. Connor was in the intensive care unit last week but is now back at home continuing his recovery. Because of Connor’s medical situation, his parents, Edward and Jane, were unable to attend the event but expressed their thanks to everyone who donated their time and money to the
event, said Haynes. “They’re just overwhelmed with gratitude.” Connor, who is physically dependant on his family, has been through a gamut of testing at CHEO but results for a diagnosis have been inconclusive. Growing at the rate of other children his age, his parents are finding it difficult to carry him up and down stairs, said Haynes, who lives in West Carleton. The money from the fundraiser will go towards helping the family build a first floor addition onto their house in Lanark with a special bedroom and bathroom for Connor. “All the money is going into Connor’s trust fund,” said Haynes. “The play itself was a terrific vehicle for such an event. It all seemed to be just perfect.” The cast and crew of Kanata Theatre’s production of Cash on Delivery gave up their one night off to host the benefit. “I think we all felt triumphant; so fulfilled that they were going to be helping,” said Haynes. “If it wasn’t for them giving up their one night off – the support from the Kanata Theatre group is just beyond words.”
