Hide AdDawn, of Wells Road, Thornhill, said: “They kept it very quiet and I had no idea at all. I just got a call from the manager, Lesley, asking me to pop in with Lucy.”
She said she was stunned to be given a card with the total raised inside.
“I was really overwhelmed. Everybody had really got on board, but to raise so much is just phenomenal,” she said.
“It means a lot. It’s nice for Lucy to have a brick in the wall. There will be a reminder of her place in the hospice.
“The charity has done so much for us as a family and it’s fantastic for us to be able to give something back.”
