Today, staff members from the Department of Public Transportation (DPT) presented the family of former DPT Dispatcher and Inspector, Anthony Lodge with a cheque in the amount of $2,260 to help offset Mr. Lodge’s medical costs.
On 6 June, 2018 Mr. Anthony Lodge was transported to Boston via Air Ambulance and then to Newark , New Jersey, for a heart transplant procedure. Should Mr. Lodge become successful in receiving a heart, he will remain overseas for postoperative care.
Funds gifted to the family of Mr. Lodge were collected through various fund-raising events organized by DPT staff. Fund-raising efforts included bake sales and lunches.
DPT Operations Manager, Tori Burchall said “We are happy to be able to do our part in helping Mr. Lodge. He has always been a great colleague and friend.”
